Best AGP Graphics Card that will run under 240W PSU?

[NoodleTech]

I have a shuttle XPC barebone that has a DVD+/-RW Drive, AMD 4000+ CPU and 1gb of Kingston HyperX PC3200 RAM already installed. I am also going to add a 250GB Maxtor SATA 150 HD and an internal USB card reader. I will be playing counter-strike 1.6, counter-strike source, Half-Life 2 and battlefield 2 on a 19" widescreen LCD and need the best graphics card available that will run under its 240 watt power supply. Any suggestions as to what AGP graphics card to buy? Thanks.

There is a forum for Shuttle owners at sudhian.com that might have the best answers from other Shuttle owners.

It's not the watts that matter so much as the 12 volt amps output, but I'd expect a 7600GS to work.

I'm using an X800 on a 250W power supply, but yeah, PSUs can vary in quality quite a bit.

7600GT.

X800 what?

OP what I would do is get what ever video card fits the system, since the system is so small already that basically any card that doesn't fit will probably consume to much power anyways.

A 7600GT should be fine, perhaps as much as a 7900GT or GS but that could be running close to the limits.
