Hi, a question that should be quite easy, as far as i can tell the mac pro 8800 gt cards 2 dual link video outputs are DVI-I!?! is this correct? as i want to get this cable:

Im pretty sure its ok but i really hate all the different dvi specifications, anyway thanks for any help.

Yep

I have the same cable (but beware some TV's can be fussy - It works fine on my LG 32" but not on the Sony 21" (both claim HD Readiness)).

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, 1 more thing, do you have any issues with the size of the plug, I here its a bit cramped with some, i have an acd in the 1st socket?

Not on mine (I have a standard DVI plug in the other (for a Dell 30") and no issues with it fitting ok.
