The DirectX 8.1 DirectX 8 interface init failures still occurred even when my AMD Athlon was running at 900 mhz. It wasn't due to overclocking. My processor is very stable when overclocked to 1.05 ghz (1050mhz), as long as I set the VCore to +0.075V. The DirectX 8.1 DirectX 8 Direct3D interface testing init failure was not resolved until yesterday, when I installed Detonator 27.42 "leaked" (unofficial), then voila! all the Direct3D tests were successful. Get Detonator 27.42 at www.guru3d.com Even the 23.11 Detonators failed. But, unfortunately, under Project 64, with 23.11 and later, anisotrophic filtering is unavailable. --Randy J.
