I was wondering if these video cards work on my Dell PC?

I have the larger version of the Dell Optiplex G260, I wanted to install a new graphics card so I can dual monitor, but I don't know which ones will be compatible with my motherboard.
All I know is that the motherboard uses PCI-E.
These are the cards I am looking into:
ATI Radeon X1900GT
Radeon X1300 SFF
ATI Radeon HD2400pro
Nvidia 9500gt (Probably won't work, but still asking.)
nVidia BFG Geforce 8400GS
MSI GeForce FX5200
 
It all depends on the motherboard. Dell used to put a limit on the mb of video card you could use in their older systems. You might want to call them to verify what would work in your system.
 
Using "Speccy" this is what I came up about my motherboard:

Motherboard
Manufacturer Dell Computer Corp.
Model 00T606
Chipset vendor Intel
Chipset model i845G
Chipset revision A1
Southbridge vendor Intel
Southbridge model 82801DB (ICH4)
Southbridge revision 01
BIOS
Brand Dell Computer Corporation
Version A07
Date 05/17/2004

I tried looking things up with the motherboard, but I couldn't really find much info.
 
You will have to call Dell for them to tell you what video cards will work. My old Dell dimension 4500 would only take up to a 128mb video card. If I tried putting in anything bigger it wouldn't boot up.
