I'm buying that one
You have a PCI Express slot, and an AGP slot? You don't see that every day!
The one circled red in the second picture is PCI Express. Don't use AGP: it's crap!

Memory Bandwidth: Something that's over 20 GB should do fine (what kind of games are you playing?)
Max Refresh Rate: Doesn't matter, it all depends on your monitor.
Processing Cores: A lot (I don't know what this is).
MHz GPU: Something over 600 MHz should do fine.

Are you sure? I figured video memory was like RAM the more used the more slower it becomes..some games require more video memory.

Video memory is not an important factor, I don't know exactly what it is, you'll have to ****** it, sorry.

Definitely going too...thanks for the help...Also one more thing I'm going to be buying more RAM too and I was just wondering. I already have a 1gb memory stick along with another 1gb memory card. One of them says "DDR2". That would be the size,correct? I'm going to buy a 2gb memory stick to go with the one that says DDR2 if that is the size.

Hey,
Video Ram is an important factor for games. If you play games a lot, having little video ram can significantly impact your FPS on big games, for example GTA IV.
Usually, you want to push as many buffers into the video ram as possible(this especially applies to OpenGL) to avoid having to transfer information over the BUS from the RAM to the Video Card. The process of actually waiting for data to be transfered into the video ram takes a significant amount of time. Not to mention how fast shaders are if they never have to grab any extra information from the RAM/HDD. Worst case scenario would be to actually have to load a lot of files from the hard-drive, you preferably want to at least have it in RAM. Like a very good Game Developer once said: "If you load huge chunks of data from your HDD, it'd be as if you are waiting for the sun to cool down."
So, whoever might have told you that video ram has no significance is very wrong. Why do you think did Video Ram explode so much recently(aka increased)? It's because more and more games rely on a lot of video ram these days. They save a lot of time loading intense data and thus can use that time to create even more amazing visual appearances or other stunning physical simulations.

the 9800 gt is very old, i would recomend a newer card, like the gt 640 2gb, which is a entry level card, its pretty cheap, or for like 40$ more, get a gtx 550
