I believe the "X" series is newer, hence more advanced, hence better. However if your plannin on buying a videocard, I suggest nVidia.

AMD Athlon 64 FX-55, MSI K8N Neo4-F Motherboard, Creative Labs T5400 5.1 Surround Sound Speaks, Pioneer DVR-109 16X DVD Burner, MSI GeForce 8800 GTS PCIe GFX Card, 1 GB Value Ram.

Hi doc, the best of this bunch is the X700 which is PCI-E so it won't fit in your mobo, the 9800 is AGP but last years tech so if you want X700 performance in AGP go for X800, 6600GT or 6800le and softmod it to 6800GT 'ish spec, also Nvidia cards have better driver surport ....hope this helps you out

Both of those cards are awesome:)) If the 6800 is in your budget then grab it!!!!! Make sure it's the 6800GT and not the 6800 vanilla, the 6600GT can keep up with the 6800 vanilla except when you max out the resolution(1600 by 1200) then that's where the 6800GT is in a class by itself.....Take care
