    DirectX updates are cumulative, i.e. DirectX 9 includes DirectX 8, 7, 6, 5, 3, 1, and any versions prior to that. It even includes the various smaller version revisions.

    This is why games based on older ones still work perfectly, and usually faster.

    There is simply no reason not to upgrade.

    Even though that's not it's main purpose, the spyware blaster program has a feature called "systems" or something that lets you see you're direct x stuff in detail. I think it includes tests, too.
