Just got this little Dell Box Running but need your help What the Best Model out ther in terms of power of a low profile card. Have been looking around but find it very hard. I think case has a 8400GS running in it. Have found out that its got Pci-E slot

I think the best you're going to get in low profile is a 9600GT, OcUK don't stock them though.

Witch one of the two are faster and not using silly amount of psu power ?

The 9600GT is marginally faster, however the 220 is much more efficient, is newer tech which supports DX10.1 as opposed to the 9600 only supporting DX9
review, warning it doesnt fare so well

9600GT is DX10 it has 256 bit memory interface width compared to the 128 bit on the 220 and also had more shader processors 64 compared to the 220s 48 -

In theory the 9600GT should be a fair bit quicker going by the specs, You've gotta remember the vanilla 9600GT was knocking on the door of the 8800/9800GTs the only difference between the cards was 48 less SP's on the 9600GT.
