Currently have 8600 GT-Any Upgrade that is also low power?

[jamesrwright]

I have an 8600 GT..I like the low power aspect of it..but I want to upgrade to something with a little more umph..doesn't have to be AS low power..(43 W), but I don't want something that needs 200+ watts. I play games..but not often and don't need all the bells and whistles.

An ATI HD4670 would work nicely - it doesn't need an external power connector, and is quite a bit faster than the 8600GT.

^+1 for the 4670.

Indeed, the 4670 is the card for you.
Rated to draw a maximum of 59w, it will give you roughly twice the performance of your current 8600GT.
