I have some WMV clips that don't play very well, but nothing substaintal, I might be getting so WMV-HD DVD-Rom's. I read that plain 6800's do WMV acceration. Do these have the interlace bug that my 5200 has? what could I expect for HD gaming?

Only PCI-Express plain 6800's do WMV acceleration. AGP 6800's do not do WMV acceleration.
If you want WMV9HD acceleration on AGP, you need to get a 6600GT. 6600GT would be good at 720p gaming.
for quick reference, hardware video acceleration by GPU type:
NV40 - Full MPEG2 only - 6800 AGP, 6800GT AGP, 6800U AGP (130nm version)
NV41 - Full MPEG2, Full WMV - 6800 PCI-E (130nm version)
NV42 - Full MPEG2, Full WMV - 6800 PCI-E (110nm version)
NV43 - Full MPEG2, Full WMV - 6600 PCI-E, 6600GT PCI-E, 6600 AGP, 6600GT AGP
NV44 - Full MPEG2, Partial WMV - 6200 PCI-E, 6200 AGP
NV45 - Full MPEG2 only - 6800GT PCI-E, 6800U PCI-E
NV48 - Full MPEG2 only - 6800 AGP, 6800GT AGP, 6800U AGP (110nm version)
G70 - Full MPEG 2, Full WMV, Full H.264 - 7800GTX PCI-E
