directx upgrade?

[TP]

I dont know much about DirectX, but I am wondering if its worthwhile to upgrade to version 8. I am starting to get into games, but I dont know if my video card is the greatest for games. I have an ATI AIW 128 agp card. (t-bird 700mhz cpu @ 735, MS k7t pro mobo... 128mb ram...)

Should I upgrade to version 8, and will it make a difference?

I couldn't see any noticeable difference after upgrading to DirectX 8. 3DMark2000 benchmark went up 2% and that's all.

Same here....don't think it will hurt though.
