Is there anyone out there running Direct X 9.0b?

I heard it was out but I'm not sure if it was a beta version or not? Any corrupted hard drives?

I loaded it on my computer. Haven't run and games though. Just surfing, music, etc..

I haven't had any problems yet.

It`s official now,you can get it via Windows update,as for stability I`ve not had any problems and I do a lot of online gaming.

im running it now, no problems, can tell no differance but i play only 1 game that uses directX. i think it was more of a security update than anything. how you can have security problems with a API, i do not know

Any performance gain?

I am using it as well. I just freshly reformatted my system for my new copy of XP Pro and DLed it through windows update. I have only installed a few apps so far and have not had to the time to run any benches either. Actually, come to think of it, I have not had the time to run any benches since the Cat. 3.5 drivers were released.

ATI drivers for Radeon Graphic cards have been updated from version 3.5 to 3.6. So 3.6 is the most current version of drivers.

DX9.0b, no problems for me in games or 2D, no change in performance.
