I heard that some vga card are not compatibile with new directx 9.0, for example geforce mx version, and that geforce fx is compatibile. Now, i have instaled a game, need for speed underground, that requires directx 9 and the game works with geforce mx. Can someone tell me more about this? Thanks.

Some of the cards have part of directx 9.0 hardware support (all of the old card are using soft emulation for DX9 - slower) like GF 5200,5500
The expensive models radeon 9800pro nvidia 7800 are with a full hardware DX9 support (speed)

Have a nice shopping :)

Which mx card are you using? From what I have seen on other tech forums the mx cards are intended to work with directx 8.1. Other people who have it and have had issues with games and directx 9 have been having good luck either uninstalling the current drivers and running windows update and installing the recommended driver or by installing an older driver.
