DVI connection question...
Howdy! I just ordered a 2405FPW, which says it comes with a 15 pin D-sub connection. Here's the problem; My video card is an ATI Radeon x800se, and I just noticed that it only has a 24 pin D-sub connection!
Since I've only used VGA connections before, I'm completely ignorant on this subject.
Do I need a new video card?
Thanks in advance for any help!

looks to me you need a white DVI adapter plug , and you can keep the video card you have !I just bought an ATI Radeon X600 that has both DVI (24 pins) and VGA (15-pins) connection.I think you could order the white DVI adapter plug with Dell ; this plug is plugged on the 15 pins plug of your monitor.Also try to find in the specifications of your monitor/videocard if you need DVI-D or DVI-I to make the connection work, although i think the DELL white DVI adapter plug should work for you.Message Edited by TheBigCat02 on 10-31-2005 04:41 AM
