DVI, DVI-D, DVI-I

    I have been shopping for an LCD monitor to use with
    my ATI 9600 Pro. The 9600 has a DVI-I connector.
    I notice that on the LCD monitor specs, some say
    DVI and some say DVI-D. I cannot seem to find any-
    thing concrete on the differences. Maybe someone
    could point the way. I would hate to spend $600 for
    a monitor that doesn't work properly.

    TIA

    You can get DVI-I or DVI-D. The DVI-I is digital and analog so either a DVI
    monitor or VGA monitor w/DVI to VGA adapter can work. The DVI-D is digital
    only so the DVI to VGA adapter will not fit. The Radeon 8500LE and a few low
    end cards have DVI-D as a way to cheapen the card so dual VGA monitors is
    not possible. Most good cards have a DVI-I so that dual VGA monitors will
    work. Your DVI will work in either.
