the idea is that with major releases, speed should be improved and new features added. minor releases should only be making speed better and fixing bugs

DX 9.0a contains mainly bug fixes for DX 9. For old cards it's probably not worth installing unless you have a program that requires it.

i would never install a version of DX until i get a game that requires it. if it ain't broke don't fix it.
