256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro Compatability with 2007WFP
I just received my new computer. The above mentioned video card and monitor were purchased. It seems as though the DVI connections are not the same. The monitor connection has 2 blocks of nine pins and one flat pin, while the video card has a bunch of small pins. The cable supplied does not plug into the video card. It has the mating configuraiton that the monitor has - on both ends.
Do I need an adapter or something else?

I will get you that info after lunch. I did see two different cables that looked like "Y" cables. How do they work?If I use them, am I still getting my picture/video in Digital or does it break it down to analog?474

jkirchen,
Great. You have them. One Y-splitter has two blue analog VGAs, the other y-splitter has two white digital DVI-Ds. Just connect the single end to the video card and one of the DVI-Ds to the monitor to get a digital signal.

jkirchen,
The 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro low profile video card that ships on the Dimension C521 and XPS 210 requires the use of a DMS-59 adapter dongle to connect the video card to your monitor.

Chris,
This is a timely posting...
I have the same video card in an Optiplex 740 which was just recieved. By accident, we ordered a few of these PCs with this card, but only with the VGA adapter cables. We really wanted the dual DVI adapter cables too.
Can you tell me exactly how we could get the DVI adapters? Would we need to order the J9256 Cable Kit, or are they available as a separate part number? (we already have the dual VGA adapters).475

The cable you mentioned worked. I have not increased to max resolution and hope to do so this weekend. I understand some customers had trouble with this.152

gatownsend,
Contact spare parts (1-800-372-3355) and see if they can sell the DVI splitter.

What specific PC model (optiplex, dimension etc.)?
The monitor has a DVI-D single link connector.
