OK, I am a complete noob when it comes to the Pixel Shader rating. The only reason I care is because all I have is this i5 UltraBook with HD4000 and would like to play games on it.

I have a number of Indie and other games that are great, yet none are very new-ish. So, found Battle Field 2 and it's requirements look promising except for this whole Pixel Shader business...

So, how likely is my HD4000 to have Pixel Shaders? and if so, what level of them 1.1, 1.4, 2.0?

I haven't a clue. Thanks to those that do have one, I could use your advice.
