Do all nvidia cards have T&L support built into the card?

Anything from the original geforce256 and newer has T&L.

T&L = Transform and Lighting


any card within the last 4-5 years should have it.

It stands for Hardware Transform and Lighting, and it basically means that instead of the cpu having to tell the gpu exactly what to draw and the gpu just spitting out pixels, the gpu now does some of the calculations itself a lot faster using dedicated hardware.
