SwiftShader is the world's fastest pure software 3D renderer with DirectX® 9.0 class features, including support for advanced graphics features such as Shader Model 2.0, predication, floating point rendering, stenciling, and much more. SwiftShader is built to provide the same APIs that developers are already using for their games and applications. This makes it possible to directly integrate SwiftShader into applications without any changes to source code. SwiftShader can render games as complex as Half Life 2 entirely in software.
SwiftShader performs between 50 and 100 times faster than Microsoft's Direct3D® Reference Rasterizer in tests with sample applications and can achieve performance that surpasses low end integrated graphics hardware in many cases. SwiftShader achieves this unprecedented level of performance by dynamically compiling highly optimized code special to an application's 3D rendering needs. SwiftShader is currently available for x86 CPUs with Intel's SSE multimedia instruction set extensions. SwiftShader runs on Microsoft Windows 98 and higher, or on Linux through TransGaming's Cedega portability technology. SwiftShader can also be used on MacOS X in conjunction with TransGaming's Cider technology.

Look for any games requiring DX9, Ex: "Dream Day HoneyMoon"
Download and install it and there should be an updated Swiftshader.dll in the game directory! (Which is not the demo version which means that there is no logo!)Looks like this site will be an easy way to get SwiftShader updates!
