You are right, that particular video card does not support stereo
graphics. However, with a different card, they should still be able to
make it work with that computer.

We were able to pick up an ATI FireGL V7100 for about $130 roughly 9-10
months ago that works great in our graphics machine. I believe that the
motherboard on an Optiplex 755 has a PCI-E 16X slot that could be used
to for a stereo enabled video card. As was said before, a power supply
upgrade would almost certainly be necessary at that point. Pretty much
all the Dells that I've put my hands on use ATX PSUs, but it's still
worth taking a look to double check before you start buying parts.

Hi CCP4ers
I know I am churning over a well discussed subject but:
We have been trying to figure out the best way to use our NuVision
graphics glasses on the OPTIPLEX 755 Dell.
Turns out the graphics card (NVIDIA FX 3700) is not compatible with
this type of computer due to size issues.
Can anyone recommend the type of glasses and or if it is possible to
use them for 3D viewing ?O and Coot- on an Apple?
Or does anyone know of an alternative glass/card I could use on the
OPTIPLEX 755?
Hi Gina & those respondents writing about Dell computers,
sounds like you will not be able to do Stereo with that machine.
Take a look at the CCP4wiki "Computer hardware" article
(http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Computer_hardware)
- I can still recommend that machine. Check out the "Stereo" article
as well.
HTH,
