Early reports state that it fixes some glitches in many games and a slight increase in fps.

Is Windows 98 better than Win95? The fact that no games support DX9 yet FULLY (Doom III is expected to be the first to support it fully), means that you won't see much difference in games that don't use it.

True, not to mention many current video cards which are not optimized for Direct X 9. I heard that Direct X 10 is already in beta testing.
