Definately an X800 sapphire. Do you know what model it is and what is the card bus?
PCI-Express is the one to go for card bus wise. It is a lot faster than AGP.
My brother has the ATi Radeon X850XT (PCI-E), mine has the ATi Radeon 9800XT (AGP8x) and mine outperforms his. Also, in tables comparing the Radeons, the supposedly model below the pro, the xt, does infact have better specs.

And if a 9800 is outperforming a x850 there is something hugely wrong with that PC.

And if his still is underperforming what could I do to fix it... He is also on a 64bit system simular to mine.
Casheti, I have 3 FX5200s, that are the 256mb version, I found when you clock above 300mhz core and 500mhz mem the card begins to fail and draw incorrectly, also I found 2 unstable after being clocked...

Even an overclocked 9800 wont come even close to a X850 , is this with the same settings used in the games.

Alot of games adjust themselves automatically now, BF2 and HL2 do it quite alot if something is set to high and you have to low an FPS for too long it will start turning off AA or AF or HDR or if that doesnt work change modes into DX7, smor games dont do it though as sometimes you dont care how low the fps is you just want it to look good which i like.

But for only $174 I'd upgrade to a XT is a flash.
