Answer 1

What you currently have is an integrated video card , meaning it is found inside your motherboard and cannot be removed.

However, since you have a PCI-E 16X slot, you can add any PCI-E slot video card you can buy.

Vertex Shader 2.0? I do not think there is any Vertex Shader 2.0 that I know. However, the cheaptest video cards that support Pure Hardware Transform & Lighting (T&L) as well as Pixel Shader 2.0 (2 only , not 3) are these :

NVidia GeForce 6XXX Series and above.
ATI Radeon X300 and above.
