DVI-I and DVI-D

If I have a Radeon 9000 Pro with a DVI-I connection on it, can I hook it up to a LCD with a DVI-D connection (IBM T560) without using some type of converter? Do the extra pins on the DVI-I make a difference?
 
Wow, that was the fastest response I have ever seen outside the Hot deals forum. I barely had time to close IE and download the new e-mails when I saw the response. Thanks for your help.

the dvi connection on lcd monitors are called dvi-d, the dvi connection on dvi video cards are called dvi-I.

jjyiz' expert advice again.

DVI-D is (D)igital-only, while DVI-I is (I)ntegrated, having both digital DVI-D and analog VGA signals on its one connector.

On a DVI-D connector (these exist on graphics cards too!), you can only use a DVI-D device. DVI-I outputs let you do either that (without adapters), or use a DVI-VGA adapter plug to connect a legacy VGA display - be that a CRT or an LCD.

Just buy a DVI-D cable(DVI-D at both ends),as already stated DVI-D is digital only while DVI-I is both digital and analogue(has both),so basically your video card can accept either but your LCD is DVI-D only so needs a digital only cable(DVI-D).
