Means Direct X9 which every pc today should hace probably C version. Actually there is some talk we should wait for Direct X 10 to come out which supposedly will not work with video cards produced today, so todays purchase may be a waste of money.
Of course you are talking to an ex-photgrapher who hasn't seen a bit of difference since early versions of Direct X 8 here.

Simply put, DirectX is a programming method which allows computer software to "communicate" with other computer software (primarily for gaming) in order to "display" high-quality graphics using the latest graphics hardware.
To benefit from the latest advances in DirectX (currently DirectX 9) one must have hardware that supports (is designed for) DirectX9.
