Default 200W cards

What graphics cards only require a 200W PSU? One requirement for the graphics card is that it supports pixel and vertex shader. And would a Radeon 9600XT work on a 200W PSU since I could get one for quite a cheap price.

I don't know, it's just that my computer is originally from 98/99 and that was pretty high in terms of wattage back then I think for an ordinary computer. And I don't want to spend more money than I need to, like if I would have to get a new PSU. And I don't really care about all the eyecandy I can get with a brand new 5000€ comp. It's just that most new games won't work with my card that I have now and the 9600XT should last a while in my use. The GF4MX440 has lasted in my use since 2001 .
