DX9 is direct X9 ... so it's depend on what game you're trying to run and on which specs because from what I know even a few recent games still used DX9.

That depends on what video card you have. Some cards CANNOT run DX10 even if you get windows to install the DX10 software.

but yeah if your hardware is having a hard time with a DX9 game then it's probably mean you need a upgrade because these games have very low requirments compared to most computer you can buy these day's.
