I'm looking to build a computer and have this monitor (it's a not all that old):
http://www.newegg.com/product/prod [...] 6824179035

All the newer video cards have dvi inputs in them rather than the vga that I use now. I'm looking to get some version of the Raedon 4850 and need to know what DVI cable I need to buy to be compatible wiht both. I will need a male to female. When I look on newegg I see all sorts of stuff, DVI, DVI-D... and am a bit confused.

Thanks for the help.

why would you need male to female? The 4850 will have female ports as does your monitor, you would need a male to male.

you need something like this, although you can probably find one cheaper
