Installing Sound Card in Optiplex 760
I have empty slots in the back of the 760 - can a new sound card be installed on the MB?
Appreciate any assist with this.

That should be fine (I can't say with 100% certainty because the card was never validated on the 760) as long as your CPU is a Core 2 Duo or better (you can check this in Control Panel > System and Security > System)

Thank you for replying. I am using a regular Desktop - the massive one - so would you be able to tell me if this card would work? Sorry, but I am not that savvy when it comes to these things. Much appreciated :)

Yes, you'll be able to fit a PCI sound card to the motherboard. Depending on the chassis type you have (tower, desktop or small form factor?) will determine if you need a full height or low profile card. You can find fitting instructions here.

Yes, it is a Core 2 Duo. Hopefully the sound will be much improved now. Thank you again and all the best!
