Macbook (2008?) cable for second screen

[TreasureIreland]

Hi,

I have a white macbook (i think i bought it in 2008 but not sure), and I want a cable to plug into a second monitor. However there are a few different cables in their store, does anyone know which cable is correct for the white macbook?

Thanks in advance.
