Hello.
I just bought a ATI HD4850 (Gainward), which apparently only uses DVI-I ports. I use an old Samsung SyncMaster 957DF CRT monitor, which uses a VGA or SVGA cable (I'm not sure), so I bought a VGA to DVI-I adapter.
The connector to my video card looks like this: http://data.macoteket.se/images/other_images/DVI_I_kontakt.jpg
I however, have apparently gotten a hold of this (notice middle connector, which should look like the above linked image, looks different): http://site.stsi.biz/images/dvi-a-dvim-15f.jpg
As stated, I'm not sure if it's a VGA or an SVGA monitor. I have bought a VGA to DVI adapter, will I be able to use it even if it turns out to be an SVGA monitor?
I'm fully aware I could check it myself, but I'm not at my computer until tomorrow evening, and if it turns out it doesn't fit, it's a three hour ride to get a replacement, and I want to sit down and start installing the OS right away, as its my first build
