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.
