Sound Card for Optiplex 755
I am planning on ordering an Optiplex 755. Ordering online gives no choice for sound card. I am assuming that this has intergrated sound. If I have an empty PCI slot can a sound card be installed without too much hassle? Thanks for any advice. (Optiplex 755 mini tower)

The online manual has the specs for this unit here.

It's not fancy, but it's a desktop intended for corporate users, so sound usually doesn't need to have super high standards/requirements. For this Dell offers the Inspiron desktops, XPS desktops and Precision Workstations.

Not all cards are created equal.
You Must use a PCI 2.2 or PCI 2.3 universal Card with 2 Keyways in the PCI slot.
Otherwise you have an issue with 5V PCI not working in 3.3v PCI slots.

The most trouble free sound cards are the Turtle Beach Amigo.
They are USB and not Cards that plug into the slots and cause Power or IRQ or other issues.

PCI 2.2 or PCI 2.3 (UNIVERSAL PCI) cards have 2 Keyways in the slot.
