hmm, So a single link DVI-D cable will not go into a DVI-I?

DVI-D equals monitor and DVI-I equals most video cards.

A single link DVI-D is part of the DVI-I connection as far as I know. It should work. Are you trying it and having problems or is this hypothetical?

both... I had this probelm at work with a DVI-D monitor and a 6600GT with DVI-I with a single link DVI cable,

And now I have a new 19" monitor that has a DVI-D and the 7800GT I am getting has a DVI-I port. I wanted to know if I bought Duel link cables will I be able to go into DVI?

Dual link is a different thing than DVI-D vs DVI-I.

Did you get the DVI-D and 6600gt issue resolved?

no, it was a customers pc. She just wanted to know if her son could use his samsung 730b with DVI-D on the PC. I monitor did nothing when I plugged it in, it kept swtiching back and forth to analong a digital and showed nothing.

That was not a DVI-D/I problem. That was the PC being unable to detect the DVI-D panel without a restart. I've encountered it with my Dell 2005FPW and BFG 6600GT OC which worked FINE after restarting with the correct inputs selected using a DVI-D cable.

Let's make one thing clear, there really are no DVI-I cables. The ones that exists are really just for entention of the port or adding DVI-D + VGA to a high-end KVM switch. If you are using DVI, you are using it for the DIGITAL portion so you use the -D cable. The -I part just means that you can get an adapter to turn it into a VGA port if you do not plan on using DVI at all. It should add no confusion regarding the cables for using DVI with a monitor. The dual-link/single-link thing is a resolution matter (Super-high resolutions require a dual-link cable).

Single link goes up to the native res of the Dell 2405 I think (1920x1200 @ 60hz)

Darq mx I have a similar problem with 6600gt not running dvi on Hyundai imagequest l72d.
Its not the cable or the graphics card or the input on the monitor.
Does anyone know of any nview issues related to this?
