Dual Monitor cable for GX620

I had an online chat with Dell support. They told me to get G9438 (This is internal part number which is not the same as sales part number.)

Instead, I just ordered 310-4469 (This is the sales part number). I don't really know the different between them but I was told 310-4469 has 2 VGA connectors or 2 DVI connectors.

The eBay cable looks suspicious. You see one DVI plug and two VGA plugs, but if you look at the far end of the picture, you see another 2 plugs. It makes it looks like they are actually two set of cables.

My question is the same as the OP. he says dell support recommended G9438, looking at a picture of this, http://tinyurl.com/ncxp9 the yellow connector is not the same. Mine is more like a dvi connector. Did tech cupport recommend the wrong cable?

I am trying to extend my desktop onto this second monitor, this is possible with this graphic card which includes the secondary right?

I appreciate any help in telling me the right component to buy.

Thanks, Tom.

I just spoke to Dell Sales in the States and they gave me a part number, can you try to find A0439327 ?

They also use something called Cables to Go and see a similar cable with part number A0440914.

Thanks a lot. I am actually based in London, England :-) And am excited to hear about a solotion, please could you give me more information about the part you obtained.

Thanks, Tom.

sure, I ordered from UES.ch online shop, and it costs me about 57 chf, which is like 20 to 30 gbp.

if you google for cable shops and then put in dvi-i y cable, you need to find one with a vga out and a dvi out.  Once I did that, I had to fiddle around in the settings (don't remember what anymore) and now I've got dual 19 inchers.  good luck.

This is the description they put at www.ues.ch
