[Rageik]

i am looking for a graphics card that will fit inside of a Dell OptiPlex GX270(its a small case

), and it has a foxconn ls-36 motherboard.

You need lowprofile vidcard with a short mounting plate. theres a number of them floating about, try a google search.

Well said, an example would be an X1900GT

what if i transferred all the hardware into a new case?

and is this an APG slot(the green one), if it is, what is the maximum memory the graphics card can have?

Looks like one, it shouldn't limit the amount of RAM you can have on your card at all.

Lots of graphics memory doesn't mean the card is 'fast'. Just means its got something big and doesn't know what to do with it.

If you try and move your Dell hardware into another box you need to make sure that they use a standard ATX psu connector on the motherboard as you most likely wont be able to fit the DELL psu in a new case.

Dell have been known for using a non standard pin assignments in the ATX power connector on the motherboard which means if you plug in a normal PSU you can fry your board.

is this a PSU connector? that goes from the power to the board?(im not that good with the hardware)

Yeah that connects to the motherboard.
