I am upgrading my stock dell workstation 490 to a new graphics card, but before I buy it, I want to make sure it will work with your help. I have a 750w power supply and my motherboard is a Foxxconn LS-36, also my current graphics card is a FireGL v7200.

DxDiag: http://pastebin.com/bjA6QKv6

I am looking to get either this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I want the better card but again im not sure either of them will work, so I would appreciate anyone's help. Thanks in advance

It does mean that there is a chance that the card will not work in that motherboard, if it works it is an entry level gaming card and should allow some gaming. If you can find a HD7750 it is a stronger card about the same power consumption and does not have the no video issue in older slots.

Just a follow up for anyone reading this in "the future"- The card was a refurbished PowerColor Radeon 7770 HD GHz Edition ($80), it has been working fine with no issues for over a year. It was the best purchase of my life. Keep in mind, my mobo is 8 years old inside a DELL Workstation from 2007 with a Dual Core Xeon CPU. To cap things off, I found the machine in a dumpster. It was in the garbage. Somehow, it is great for what it is, and I am more than pleased with performance. Some performance expectations for those looking to revive old computers:

Games That I have Played On said PC:
Skyrim- runs flawlessly on high
Source Games (CSGO, Tf2, FFoF, L4D2)- flawless
Blacklight:Retribution- for 1080p performance you need to go on Low but does not take away from the game
MineCraft- flawless
GTA4- Low 1080p to get 60+ fps but that game was optimized like shit
Orcs Must Die- flawless
Torchlight2- flawless
Chivalry- flawless
Dota2- flawless
