DirectX 8.0

[tramtwo]

This latest version of DirectX offers updated graphics, faster frame rates, and support for massively multiplayer games. It also offers more immersive audio when running and displaying programs rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3-D animation, and surround sound. If you had an earlier version of DirectX installed on your system, you will see little difference in available space on your hard drive following the installation. DirectX 8.0 will overwrite any earlier versions.

NOTICE: After installation, the DirectX 8.0 run time cannot be uninstalled. DirectX is a system component. It cannot be uninstalled without reinstalling your operating system.

Tram, is this program worth downloading for anyone, or is it mainly for game users?

It's not just for gamers. It is a great program to *check* video and sound on your PC. I have downloaded and installed it.
