Hello, I have just bought an Nvidia FX5200 and an LG L194WT monitor and need a DVI lead, I know for a fact that the monitor requires a DVI-D input, but I'm not sure about the graphics card (it's the AGP version), would this (http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/45492) or this (http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/31424) be OK?
Thanks.

both are good. I am only wondering why the single-link cable cost more than the duallink cable. :weird:
they are both DVI-D cables (while the cheaper one is a DVI-D Duallink and the expensive one is a DVI-D singlelink). The duallink cable supports resolutions higher than 1920x1200 although your graphicscard should support duallink DVI output for those high resolution.
to make things less complicated..
both cables will work.
