uhm VS stands for VertexShader
and 1.0 is (afaik) a version of it.
Everything you need to buy is a graphic card which supports Vs 1.0 (and PS 1.0 (PixelShader))
But the latest version of PS and VS is like 3.0 afaik, I'm not really into this shader stuff, yet.
So yeah I bet your graphic card supports it.

well, the latest "to-be" version is 4.0, which ships with Vista. The latest available version is 3.0. For most games, like 90% of them, you can get away with version 2.0, and 1.1 is pushing it (I own a 1.1 video card )

To obtain a higher version, you have to buy a new video card that supports that version.

Unless you video card is several years old (like, 6+ years old), it probably supports v1.0, or v1.1. Look at the manufacturer's homepage, or a 3rd party site such as www.newegg.com, and see if you can find you card. Usually, they list its shader model version with its specs.

Good luck,
