DMark2001 SE is supposed to be DirectX 8.1. Does this mean I need DX8.1 installed, DX8.1 graphics drivers and DX8.1 graphics hardware to be able to run 3DMark2001 SE?

3DMark2001 SE is our DX8.1 benchmark and it does require that DX8.1 is installed. You can download DX8.1 for free from Microsoft's site http://www.microsoft.com/directx/. 3DMark2001 SE does not require DX8.1 hardware or graphics drivers, but the newest official graphics drivers are always recommended for 3DMark.

If you have DX8.1 hardware, you will probably need DX8.1 drivers to be able to use the new DX8.1 features in your hardware. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
