so just take a caliper and measure it on your graphics card.

Hint:
xpress 3200 has different mobovendors and they use different mounting holes. some like asus use the 54.8mm standard holes, some others like ECS and co. biult their boards with standard 58mm holes. but when you plan to watercool your xpress chipset, just give up, it isn't necessary. even with integrated x300 graphics the chipset doesn't even get hot while playing intense games like cmr2005, bf42, SSCT or GTASA. Its not an nvidia nforce4 which is three times as hot. it will stay fine and silent even with the standard passive heatsink even with overclocking.

For the X1800/X1900 series which share the same pcb layout, the diestances are exactly the same as on 6800/7800/7900 series. But 6800/7800/7900 only have very small 2.2mm holes while the x1800 holes measure at least 3.2mm. The distances are 53.5mm*53.5mm measured from the middle of the holes.
