Question for people who know graphic cards

What exactly is anisotropy?
I've enabled it on various levels and other than significant slow downs, I haven't been able to tell any difference in the graphics.

What is Vertex Buffer Objects?
I had to add that line to my ini file (Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1) so that Dantooine would be playable. What visual effects am I missing out on because I can't tell much of a difference?

Thanks.
