    It's not there.

    I want to installed DX8 to see if I get better performance in HL2, cause I have GMA900 graphics and lag is pretty common.

    Here's a link to the latest release of DirectX:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a9b6820-bfbb-4799-9908-d418cdeac197&displaylang=en

    and if you're really set on installing DirectX 8.0 rather than 9.0, here's a link to additional releases (just download the ones that say "Runtime" and have your OS listed):
