If i pull a Dell graphics card from a computer and put it in a computer that isnt dell will it work? I dont think it will since dells are wired differently to run at different frequencys.

What if it is AGP?

Yeah there should be no trouble at all =]
Just make sure the pin configurations are correct, and write down the model number and google it, it will throw up the drivers you'll need.
Dell don't actually make any of their products, they buy the 'end of the line' stock from big manufacturers then re-badge them, put them together in a case and sell them for a huge amount of money lol
Hope I helped

Yes, yes and yes, AGP can be identified by the pin layout, they use a two tear pin format and the slot will be offset by approx 20mm from any PCI slots. It will work from switch on by default, though you may need to boot the BIOS and turn it on, that if you have previously use on-board graphics. Other than that, to get the most out of it you will have to identify it in the system hardware/device manager and you will see the name of the board and manufacture listed by the component symbol. Go on-line, locate the vendor and search it. The drivers are free and simple to download. Installation is a dream on all graphics used by Dell, you could even Log-on to dell and download the drivers.

Should do, as Dell dont really make their own cards, they just rebadge them from ATI or nVidia.

If it is PCI or PCI express, it will work just fine, but you might have to download drivers for it.

I would say go ahead and try it. If it breaks your computer that sucks.
