Hi barcelona2009, Your manual HERE says that you have an 160w PSU. With that in mind, you wont have an great selection to choose from. Have a look at this one HERE, have a look at the other AGP cards HERE.
Thanks for your opinion and help. Optiplex GX270 model has a very low physical and that is why the graphics card can not be normal physical size. In Dell's specifications indicated that the measures are:
Small desktop computer
two half-length PCI cards (card size = 10.67 cm [4.2 inches] high by 17.65 cm [6.95 inches] long)
one low-profile AGP card (card size = 6.35 cm [2.5 inches] high by 16.76 cm [6.6 inches] long).
That's why I asked for help, and I am unaware of who can produce this kind of graphics cards.
Greetings.

I know this is an old post, but someone might be interested in the fact there is a graphics board that works well with the Optiplex GX-270. This computer is not meant for gaming, so your selections are not great. The best graphics board I found for my Dell Optiplex GX-270 was an NVIDIA gForce 6200 512MB (Low Profile) graphics card distributed by PNY. Your power supply should be at 240 watts, and just big enough to power this card. I installed the NVIDIA gForce 6200 and immediately all graphics began to run a whole lot smoother, and I use it with the Axis & Allies game, before I installed this card the game would stutter very badly, but now only once in awhile will hang just for a second when you are in full battle mode. This is not perfect, but it works well enough for me to play the game, and do other things with graphics that could not be done before. The optiplex computers all need low profile cards which are not easy to find.
