Yes here it is: another question regarding eyefinity. Im sure you are aware that the forums are already full of questions regarding eyefinity and how un user friendly it is. now i have this setup 1 vga only monitor, one dvi only monitor, and one dvi/hmi. My question: if i purchase this: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Cables/prod...

can i then connect the other two monitor using non display port means? or do you need 3 diplayports for 3 monitors? thanks.

i forgot the add that this monitor that i would be connecting the active adaptor to is a samsung syncmaster px2370. my main concern is that this adaptor is specifically for "dual link dvi'' and i dont know if my monitor supports that. thanks

That adapter costs much more than you need to spend;

Dual link adapters are only necessary for displays over 1920x1200, and yes, you only need one.
