- Added DirectX 6.1. Be warned, however - there have been reports on various sites on the Web that 6.1 has some compatibility problems with a few games (Blue's News mentioned "Heretic II, Rogue Squadron, and on some machines, Quake II"). Personally I'm sticking with 6.0 until these issues are resolved.
- Updated GetRight to version 3.3.3 (3.3.2 was previewed and got posted on a few servers, so this release is 3.3.3 to avoid confusion with the preview versions).
- Updated the m3D vs. G200 benchmarks in Unreal now that my PC's had it's annual overhaul. The m3D still wins !
- Archived December's news.
