[02:03] <ojwb> so 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] <ojwb> it is DVI, so that's 1/3
[02:07] <mwhudson> disk smith's is a terrible place to buy cables
[02:07] <mwhudson> trademe is more reliable ime :)
[02:08] <chilts> ascent!
[02:09] <G> or if you have  PB Tech local, PB :)
[02:10] <chilts> there is one around the corner from me in Wgtn
[02:11] <G> for the most part, Trade Me is pretty good, but some of the descriptions leave a lot of doubt
[02:11] <chilts> speaking of which, I might go there now
[02:12] <ojwb> mwhudson: yeah, i wouldn't normally
[02:12] <ojwb> ascent seemed to be out of stock of most of the cheaper DVI cables though
[02:12] <ojwb> now i'm trying to find out if the computer and monitor actually support dual link, which doesn't seem to be documented anywhere
[02:27] <ojwb> looking at wikipedia, for the supported resolutions it seems single link is fine

[20:53] <snail> hi all
[20:58] <ojwb> in 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 do
[21:01] <chilts> morning
[21:01] <chilts> that's twice I've said that
[21:01] <chilts> an hour apart
[21:02] <chilts> my short term memory is failing me
