More Upgrade Advice Please

If you have a 9800, then it's AGP not PCI-e. So forget the new X1800 line or 7800 line as they are PCI-e only. If you have dual channel memory, I'd expect it is an AGP 8X mobo, but either way it's compatible with 4X/8X cards so any high end AGP would work. Best AGP card made is the X850XTpe. I'd look for a X800XL, 6800GT, X800XT, or X850XT, which range from as low as $240 for the XL to almost $400 for the top of the line X850XTpe.

The best "bang for the buck" for your system is the ATI All-In-Wonder X800 XT. The reason is, the All-In-Wonder is actually CHEAPER than the standard X800 XT, or any AGP version of the X850 XT. It only cost $320.

Of course you probably won't use the TV features, but the card still performs great, and best of all, it's CHEAPER.

People can't seem to get a grasp of the concept of CHEAPER PERFORMANCE, so I'll explain further if needed!
