I have installed 3d Mark 2000 v1.1 and ran the benchmark. I scored 4865 with DX8 and 4845 in DX8a.
DXDiag reports "DirectX Version: DirectX 8.0 (4.08.00.0400)" even after DX8a installtion?
I have compared file versions to my other PC, which still has DX8 installed.
DX8..

d3d8.dll: 5.01.2258.0400 English Final Retail 11/3/2000 14:35:22 1036288 bytes
DX8a..

d3d8.dll: 5.01.2258.0400 English Final Retail 11/7/2000 15:16:46 1057280 bytes
As you can see, only the date of the files has changed, but the build number hasn't..
Running Win2k Pro + SP1 + Athlon 900 with Geforce 2MX/Agp4x+Fastwrites.
