Difference between the ATI cards......

none

You gotta go to at least X800 Pro, X800 XL, X850 Pro, 6800 GT to get a worthwhile boost. If you want a major boost then a X1800 XL or 7800 GT will do it.
 
You would be about the same performance, maybe less due to the difference in memory bit interface 256 (9800) vs 128 (X700). I grabbed the recent MicroCenter hot deal for the X850 XT, replacing a 9800 and couldn't be happier. I would not have made a change for any X700.

Here is a LINK someone posted a while back, that shows comparison performance for AGP cards.
