Asus makes good boards for the AMD processors and the connector is there,

BTW, I would expect a 6 ft DVI cable to cost less than $10.

Rich,
A couple of quick questions about your Acer monitor..

indicator light did not come on or there was no display?

Agreed, and I'd lay my money on the latter.

Rich,
No problem if you don't make it. You can either contact me or wait for the

Larry,
Yes. That's been adequate for years so that's what I continue to use.
