DirectX 9.0c Redistributable - DirectX for Managed Code Update from the DirectX SDK Update (April 2007)
Microsoft DirectX is a group of technologies designed to make Windows-based computers an ideal platform for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3D animation, and rich audio. DirectX includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications using the DirectX APIs.
At the core of DirectX are its application programming interfaces, or APIs. The APIs act as a kind of bridge for the hardware and the software to "talk" to each other. The DirectX APIs give multimedia applications access to the advanced features of high-performance hardware such as three-dimensional (3-D) graphics acceleration chips and sound cards. They control low-level functions, including two-dimensional (2-D) graphics acceleration; support for input devices such as joysticks, keyboards, and mice; and control of sound mixing and sound output. Because of DirectX, what you experience with your computer is better 3-D graphics and immersive music and audio effects.

Its just the latest DirectX files. I think there was a slight performance increase by updating to the latest set a few months back. It's your choice whether you install it or not.

Yeah im sure i got a bit of a boost from the Feb one. :)
 
I just made a new folder called Dx9-Apr and extracted all the files to there, then ran the DXSETUP from in that folder.

I aint noticed any increase/decrease from it, its working fine though. :)

As far as I am aware if the software you are running has not been compiled against the latest SDK it will not use the latest files and therefore you will not notice any difference.
 
Wonder why.. must be a problem with it.

I downloaded the latest development kit a while back and I think that had the Feb redistributable in. Is there a new version of the SDK now? Maybe that still has the april redist.
