O.K quick question, I tried putting my Radeon 8500 (it's AGP) into the slot and it looks like it should fit but the slot is about half an inch too far away, does that mean it's a different type of AGP slot? ATI's website says the 8500 is for AGP 2X/4X systems, I just want a rough idea of what type of slot it is for when I go buy a new card.

WOW! I knew there was a slight chance you would have a PCI-E board. You don't have an AGP SLOT , thats a PCI-E x16 slot. Best card for price ratio IMO is the geforce 6600 GT, its under 200 US dollars and can par up with the x800.
