Where can you download Pixel Shader 1.1 or higher?
Pixel shader 1.1 (and later variants) are hard-coded into the video card and its drivers. If you have a fast processor and a good amount of ram, you may be able to get around the pixel shader requirement by downloading "3DAnalyze" and "Swiftshader 2.0" to emulate pixel shader.
More likely, the best option is for you to simply replace your video card with one which has native support for pixel shader.
The above answer is dead on target! Let me add to this fire.......
Although there are work-arounds to the pixel shader, it is ill-advised to download a patch or third party software to achieve what comes nativley in the newer video cards. The competition is so tough in the industry, what would have been a top of the line video card last month, is now the cheapest card on the shelf!
Remember that even if you do get a third party software to achieve what it is that you want in a display, the OS and computer will have to work harder to maintain the demands of not only the third party software, but any additional workload that the software generates. Memory allocation is reduced because the demand of the third party software is memory intensive. Thus, reduced performance. Emulators do not work with every game, applications or systems. Not to mention, calling on the drivers to perform out of their scope, can also lead to corrupt system files and fragmentation of the system partition. Emulators temporarily "change" critical system and driver files per demand, to allow the system to adapt to the new drivers and dll files offered by the emulator. After the emulator is no longer needed, some times, the files don't get "put back" or restored to the defaults, and you have a mess on your hands! Listen to the answerer above, and get a new card!
You need to get a better graphics card. However there is a way around it.
There is a website (see Related Links) that has a tutorial for getting over the problem.
AnswerPixel Shader is a hardware capability. However there are Pixel Shader emulators available which mimic this capability for compatibility with other/older chipsets. One of the most effective of these "emulators" is "Swiftshader" from a company called Transgaming. (See Related Links)It is more advisable to try to use a Video Card which directly supports the capabilities your game or application is designed for, however, Swiftshader is not bad if you want to try to get your app running to at least gauge whether a new video card investment is worth it or not. Swiftshader is not free, but a demo is available to take for a spin.

Is the Dell Inspiron a good laptop?
The Dell Inspiron 1520 is pretty good. With 2GB of ram its a pretty good choice. The price is a factor though. HP offers a laptop at about the same ratings for a bit cheaper and a bigger screen. But it all comes down to preference though. With dell you do get performance but you are also paying for the name. My recomendation is to go for the HP way pretty good quality at a reasonable Price.
I own one Dell 1520 , which I think is pretty good just as above . However , I should recommend it according to my personal experience , but I had to say it is the 08 model , which is outdated in the context of 2009 .

The word computer encompasses a wide range of electronic processors, which are found in about half of the things you can see right now from your desk.
Millions of computer chips are produced in a day.
If the question is how many computers the company dell makes in a day, first I'd recommend going back to elementary English, but then I'd say that dell doesn't actually make computers, they outsource production to Asian countries who make computers and ship them back to the states, where the dell logo is added. Your low quality generic computer made for idiots is a product of slave labor. I hope you're happy.
