I could answer these questions in detail, but I am going to choose the short route.

DX9.0a = A update to fix bugs in 9.0.

DX9 = Required by almost all new games.
DX9 = The new DirectX standard for all new video cards.

DX9 Hardware support:
Radeon 9500+
All GeForce FX Series

DX9 Software:
All earlier cards.

As far as the download go to the Microsoft website and look on the directX page (which isn't working right now)
I sure they have a mirror in OZ
