ojwbso the "DVI Dual-Link Digital/Analogue" cable I ordered from dicksmith turns out to be DVI-D and single link according to the box (and the connectors if I read them right)02:03

ojwbascent seemed to be out of stock of most of the cheaper DVI cables though02:12
ojwbnow i'm trying to find out if the computer and monitor actually support dual link, which doesn't seem to be documented anywhere02:12

ojwbin case anyone cares, the single link dvi cable seems fine - looks like dual link is only needed for higher resolutions and/or bit depths than most monitors do20:58
