    EVGA Superclocked 8800 320mb...Which DVI Cable

    Morning All,
    My boss ordered me this (cos i work so hard and not surf the internet allday ) : http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=545080 yesterday and i am really looking forward it.

    Problem is, which DVI cable do i need to hook it up to my monitor?

    I have DVI output on my widescreen but the cable i am using atm with the 7800GS is DVI-D.
    In the specs of the new GPU it says DVI-I.
    I have no idea what the difference is and if possible i dont want to buy another. Im hoping that the cable i have is the correct one.

    I would also prefer not to use adapters.

    Could someone enlighten please.

    Thanks

    * DVI-D (digital only)
    * DVI-A (analog only)
    * DVI-I (digital & analog)

    I hope this helps
