Whats the best 300w card i can buy right now. I was leaning towards the XFX PVT84JYAJG GeForce 8600GT 512MB GDDR2 540Mhz. Can anyone recommend better cards ? I have a aspire m3100 cpu

The HD4670 is a better performing card that works very well with a 300w power supply. It only uses the power delivered from the PCIex16 socket and doesn't require a supplemental feed from the power supply.

Here's a review of this and other cards with games from Christmas '08 includes the 8600GT (the 9500GT is just the 8600GT DDR3 rebadged)

Yep, just bought the 4670 for my 305w dell and am more than satisfied with its performance. Great buy.
