There are mentions of "single link" and "dual link" DVI-D cables.
Originally I had been thinking that was for dual monitors, but the
information I've got says that is for handling higher resolutions.
Specifically with single link cables the limit is suposed to be
1280x1024, while dual link cables are suposed to handle 1920x1080.
