Do you think this one will work? Im not looking for anything fancy specially that the computer itself is not. The most i use in graphics is photoshop. Just photos, drawing, coloring and rendering, etc..

What do you think of this one?
(From its picture, it looks like the same size as the one i have installed, small not large)

"But i want it to work with my desktop you know." You can use the big monitor at home by disabling the onboard graphics device. If you want to go on the road, re inable.

"So, can you suggest to me a few cards i can choose from? And also, when shopping for one, how do i know its compatible in size etc... Are there standard sizes for graphic cards? "
I haven't built any in a while so I can't suggest.
Not sure your meaning of "compatable size".
If it'll fit your slot and pocket buy it if you like it. Unless you're a big time gamer, expect to spend the amount specified. You won't be very happy with a cheaper mod.

low profile meant that the computer is thinner than a normal tower ,like a flat top case or small forum factor box.
the regular video card will fit but you will need a low profile back on so it can fit he back of the computer case .
like this one note the smaller connection bracket .

i think they are confuse and referring to you comment about hooking it to you laptop. .
you didn't answer any of my questions in my last post ,i could advise you more if you did .

you could try right clicking on you desktop go to properties /advances /settings ,and change the screen resolution to a higher setting ,then go t oadvanced /monitor and change the refresh rate [higher] make sure hide modes this monitor can't display is check off

Oh ok im sorry. I tried doing the resolution and refresh rate but it doesnt fix it. Im sorry i didnt see your question, its a slim desktop. It can stand up or sit on its side with a monitor on top of it or whatever. Its the smallest of its kind (GX270) slim desktop. But its not the new one 2008 or even 2007. Its older. I dont even know if they have new optiplex.
Thanks,

that's what i thought .The slim will take a low profile video card ,then metal bracket on the card that holds it into the case is shorter that the regular ones,in my opinion you are wasting money trying to making a gaming machine out this computer ,you'll put in a card then have problems with not enough power ,and you will not be able to buy a bigger power supply for this case ,the computer is made for office use or a Bank teller to use, not a gaming machine ,and is only worth about a 100.00 $ like the one in my link ,.

Im not trying to make it a gamer computer at all, i dont even play games, or have any. Im just trying to get the right normal colors. Like i said before, the most i do is photoshop, and use it for internet etc....no games. So i think ill buy a cheap low profile card that should do it. Like $50 max.
