As i understand DirectX.

You can install with any Graphics cards. Where you will find the incompatible bit is in the advanced features. Now the new graphics cards like ATI9800XT have extra instructions in the drivers to take advantage of these features.

The features i think are to do with lighting textures etc etc.

I'm sure if you google it you should find quite a few site that explain it better.
