I assume you have a small form factor chassis for your Optiplex 755. If
so, there are not many (any?) stereo-compatible graphics cards that do
not require a full-size PCI-express slot. Given the cost of an NVIDIA
FX-3700 graphics card, it might be cheaper to build the computer around
the card. Any reasonable dual-core computer with a full-size chassis and
a PCI-express slot should work well. You will also need a CRT monitor to
get stereo output.
It used to be cheaper to get stereo graphics. I have old Nvidia Quadro
980XGLs ($500) in a single-core Pentium 4 workstation and they work
pretty well still. You can still find them around, but they require an
AGP slot not common on current motherboards.
Cheers,
