Will the straight monitor cable DB15-F to DB15-F not do the same thing, as
the adapter, or does it have to be an Apple cable with the adapter thingy?
I saw the type you're talking about on ebay but I thought maybe a regular
monitor cable might work and save me from having to buy an adapter but I
don't want to blow the card or the monitor.  I didn't buy the regular retail
box one.  I was able to get one open tested for $80 instead of $120.  Trying
upgrade on a budget so to speak.
Thanks, 
Craig
