Best Graphics card for a 250 watt power supply gt 220 or or HD 4650

Which one is better? I've seen a few threads about this but they were mostly about ddr3 ones but I'm talking about the Low Profile 512mb ddr2 128 bit cards. They're both around $60 on Newegg the gt 220 is 625 mhz with 48 stream processors and the 4650 is 600 mhz with 320 stream processors. Can either of these run Oblivion at ok settings smoothly? I know they're not great but they have to be better than an Intel G31\G33 GMA 3100. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 530s slimline model with a 2.4ghz core2duo 3gb ram 500gb HDD with PCI E x16 or something like that.

I'm not sure, I know neither card is super powerful, and you won't be running Oblivion at Max, but need more information.

What other games will you be playing? What is your monitor connection? What is your resolution that you play at?

Oh yeah, other games will be Morrowind, The Sims 2, COD 4, and Crysis because if I can play that game I can play the others. For me 15+fps is playable not 30+ like a lot of people.

I figured these days Oblivion isn't near as demanding as it used to be when it came out and I could almost play it on my laptop with intel decelerated 4500m GPU smooth outside and a slideshow in most interiors.

One last question the HD 5570 is okay for a 250 watt PSU right? I just want to be sure because I don't want to buy it and then my computer won't boot up or burn out the PSU which might also take out other hardware.
