No, it does not support DX9.

You can install DX9, but the card won't be able to support any of the extra features that DX9 has because it just isn't capable of such.

No current game makes use of DX9 on any large scale.

Just because you can install it doesn't mean it's going to use the hardware features of DX9 worth a shit.

Pixel Shaders aren't that huge of deal with today's games...give it six months and you'll wish you bought a 9800 series card.

Just because you can install DirectX 9.0b doesn't mean your video card can magically do the hardware tasks that the DirectX 9 API is capable of.
