I'm looking into building an ITX setup. At this point, I'm solely looking at integrated graphics. However, I've had issues w/ ATI (and I'm considering an 880G setup), so I may also be interested in a GPU. I'd be limited to what I could run on a 150w PSU along with a Celeron Dual Core or an AMD X2 240e (45w). I'd really only like to consider nV at this point. I think I'd like at least a GT220, but would a GT240 be a better option? Are there any reasonably-priced low-profile nV cards faster than a GT220?

Gaming use is minimal, I will play some older games on it, but nothing intensive.
 
Halo 1 & 2, Need For Speed Prostreet, Need For Speed Undercover, Spore, etc. Nothing too intensive
 
With 150watts, it looks like the GT240 would be pushing the limits. I just looked it up, and it's about 90watts at full load, while the GT220 is 60watts at full load. I know halo 2 isn't a very good looking game, but it's a horribly coded console port, so i'm not sure how well a GT220 would run it.
 
Hmm. I mainly play Halo 1 anyways, do you think a GT220 would be fine for that and the other games listed? I could do without H2 without too much trouble
