Could anyone tell me which card is better: "X1650 PRO", "X1650 GT" or "X1650 XT"?
I'm replacing my "Radeon 9800 PRO" for a X1650 (the guy in the store didn't mention any other numbers) for about 90 dollars but I'm not sure which one of these it is! I know the store is expensive though so I can imagine it's the worst card out of those. Anyway, if it's the worst card for that sum, would it be worth it? My old one is broken and he said they don't make the 9800 Pro's anymore.

for 90$ , I will go for 3650GDDR2 . At least it supports Dx10.1
I believe that you can play most if the current games in medium settings .

My pc is about 4 years old and I was told in order to have certain graphic cards I'll need a completely different motherboard as well. I don't know if that's the case with the card you just mentioned. Is this one Radeon as well? Honestly, I have no idea what "supports Dx10.1" means.

My pc is a: AMD64 3200+, 2.21GHz, 512MB. And yes, I do wanna play games.

Ok, If you have a PCI-E , then yea you can get the HD3650 from ATI .
It is a new card , dedicated for mid-level gamers .
Where do you live , US or Canada. It is 99$ in Canada , 75 $ in US .

I have AGP and idk what card is best for me. So obviously I can't use the HD3650 one. I need something similar to Radeon 9800 or better.

X1650 XT > X1650 GT > X1650 PRO

The lowest one on that list - the X1650 PRO - will probably give you somewhere around a 20% boost over a 9800 PRO.

This page will give you a rough idea of how other videocards perform in relation to your 9800 PRO:
