Yea , I'm either going for a X800XL - series or a X850XL- series in PCI and I think 256MB will do

All you had to look for was this line...

And you could've deduced it was AGP 
@John C: As far as I know there is no X850XL so it looks like you'll want an X800XL. Also, be wary because I don't know how good that 320W PSU is, you may have to invest in a new one because once you get the new card it's gonna suck up more power, and if the thing is already loaded now then you could run into issues |

I didnt know that off the top of my head, like you did.  For $300 @ newegg he would be better off getting a X800XT AIW, also i dont see any X800XLs in agp.  |

That'd be funny, you couldn't get an X800XT at the time of launch and now when its well "obsolete" you can....funny  |

I dont see how thats relevant. I got my X800XT:PE no problems about 1-2 months after launch. Its not as bad as the 10k GTX512s that were sold.

You sure about that? I did a search on RV410 and got some indication that it was a native PCIx part. . .or is it the "AG" portion of the line you quoted?
Please elucidate!

uhm....why did you order a pci-e card??? you dont have a pci-e slot on your motherboard you have an agp slot......you need an agp card.....in other words you cant use that x850xt......(pci-e isnt the same as pci....thats why theres an "express" on the end of it

Well if it isn't a PCI-e slot in my PC, I have the right on a refund by the company that made my PC. ( It sais so on the box PCI-express card X740XL 128 MB)
Then I just have to take it to their helpdeskoffice , and they'll fit a slot in my PC becouse I payed for it. My previus computer, from the same company, had such a error like this and they just fixed it for free ...
So no worries then 
As for the slot collors ... Company's don't allways use the same indication. Also have loooked at this company's site , searched my moddel and it sais PCI-express ....
and for the files I found this on the net
"GeCube RADEON X700 PRO" = ati2mtag_RV410, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5E4B&SUBSYS_065218BC

it's not a MEDION 8086 or something along those lines is it?
anyways, the gpu you mentioned is a pci-e , medion ship them with a couple of their comps as far as I can tell.
and that new card should do you well
watch out for static when you install though |

Installed it 2day , ran evrything fine. Even got 2 free games with the pacage
Now I can play 9.0C games with no problems (my old card also ran 9.0C , but at a FPS somhere near 1 )
Howerver I still have a few Q
1) What is overclocing (came with the instalations CD
2) Does the "Omega driver" has any side effects ?
Thx

1) What is overclocing (came with the instalations CD)?: Overclocking is raising the clock speeds of both the core and memory. You really dont need to really
2) Does the "Omega driver" has any side effects? No, Omega drivers are fine, they are modified ATi drivers with more fixes or performance boosts. You should be just fine with the 6.2s on ATi's site
