Its a full version. Beta was released 3 months ago (or more). I installed DX9 and didnt do anything really. Maybe made the fps up about 5. Safe to use i think.

My benchmarks running 1280x1024 were about the same running 2001se build 330 from http://www.guru3d.com. It was pretty close to 7800 points, close to 9000 running 1024x768. The demos are incredible, check it out.
Yeah, I istalled it thinking, ok its not going to make much of a difference...but wow, my BF1942 runs smooth as hell now, before i was getting a little shoppy when alot of things are going on, but it really improved my performance! here is a direct link to the file if you don't want to do the web install

direct X drivers tend to fuk up ppls systems until Microsoft fixes every thing.. unlike EA who would say theyd fix it and then do nothing
Says who? I think you're the only person I've ever heard of having an issue with DirectX causing hangs/crashes. Usually video drivers or BIOS updates will cause crap like this, not video add-ins like this.
Not only do you have to download the DirectX9 program but you have to download a patch for your Radeon 9700. Without this patch for your vid card it will do nothing. NVidia doesnt support this as of yet. I guess I'll have to wait.
Due to things happening that I don't have time to go into, my system had been running MOH quite poorly. I installed DX9 this past weekend, and I'm back to running MOH smoothly again. So, for whatever it's worth, there's my $0.02.
