To answer your question, we have to first separate the definition of a Processor. The CPU or Central Processing Unit is the main brain of the computer. GPU or Graphic Processing Unit is the main brain on the Graphic card, separate from the CPU A soundcard is again a separate sound CODEC chip integra ted on a motherboard or on a separate PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and it also is separate from the CPU.
Now, a computer that has a graphics card and soundcard that uses a Pentium 3 CPU are normally supported by DirectX. So long as the manufacturer has submitted the drivers to Microsoft for WHQL certification (Windows Hardware Quality Libs) They will be supported by all DirectX drivers from that version to which they were submited for, to current versions of DX (9c) DirectX drivers are extentions of the writen drivers for the respective add on cards so that the hardware has a clean line, if you will, to the CPU. The added benifit of DX certified drivers is a smoother itegration and operation of your PC. (Personal Computer) Having said all this, let me specify that there are better definitions to the DX drivers, but not knowing your level of understanding, I felt this was the easiest way to explain.
NOW.Before you buy a game, or want to add some other software that relies on the DX extentions, you will need to check with the Manufactures of the add on cards to make sure if they are WHQL certified. They will be the best source for newer drivers if the ones you have aren't up to date.
