Hi, i want to buy a new videocard, and i have a little "problem" called 1.5v agp slot...so i have a few questions
What exactly does it mean?
is it bad?
Are my videocard upgrading options limited?(i mean, are there a lot of 1.5 v agp cards?)

It just means that the slot supplys the card 1.5v, 4/8x APG slots both supply 1.5v. Your good, you can put a new card in it with now worries. All the new cards are 1.5v 8/4x compatiable and some support 2x.

lol, dude, you have absolutly nothing to worry about.

you can easily accomodate a nice spankin' 6800gt or x800 with no worries.
long as you have a strong enough psu to power the card.

depends on your budget, The X800 pro is good, also the 6800gt as mentioned above. If the power supply you are thinking of getting is a generic one then I wouldn't bother. Try using this it will give you a guesstimate on how much juice you may need.
