Q: and i need to download direct x 9.0 or higher to play my bioshock and if so how do i do that
A: hi butters, its an easy one go to your homepage and put your windows in the search box and download direct X 9.0 and download it just that easy. i9 recommend that you update your video card to a Nvidia 8800 gts or a 8800gtx especially if you are a gamer. the reason is that playing video games uses a lot of power the more power you use the hotter your system get so this would be very advice able. good luck hope i was helpful to you
