Will a DVI-D dual-link monitor cable work with the DVI-I dual-link input on 2005 Dell 5100 Dimension? Will upgrade video card if necessary.

Thanks, knight_of_baawa!
Any compatibility advice re: Dell Dimension 5100 PC (Radeon X300 SE video card) http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0%2c2817%2c1840807%2c00.asp?tab=Specs & Asus VG248QE http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0%2c2817%2c2421205%2c00.asp?tab=Specs??
I read monitor's 144 Hz may not be reached w/o all 24 of comp's DVI-I pins enabled.
Will also max out video card w right guidance as this is a good old machine.
Your time much appreciated,
Mike
