for a card around 200 get a 6600gt or 9800pro/xt or x700 pro or alittle higher get a x800xl
It is a low score, but for his onboard I would say its higher than it should be...well over the radeon 8500 thats for sure. I agree, for around 200 you could get all those fine cards....just not in canada (At least from what I searched)

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.
