Connecting two Dell Flat Panel LCD's

I recently purchased a Matrox P650 card which is a dual DVI (digital) card. I am very happy with it. Very easy installation and set up as well as excellent crisp display on both monitors. The P650 card is the next generation card that is a step up from the G550.

I have the Radeon 9800. One analog/one digital. Just plug an adapter in and you can use both lcd's

What kind of adapter should I get?
 
I have 2 Dell Ultra sharp 19' with a RADEON 9000 series adapter. One moniter uses the Analog input and the other uses the Digital. To me, there is no difference in picture quality between the 2 monitors.

Thanks Woody and everyone, you just cant get this information anywhere else. The P650 sounds perfect for my new 'puter. :-)
 
This topic has been mentioned in previous threads, numerous times . . .

The consensus appears to be that there isn't much of a difference using an "adaptor" which allows one to use the DVI output of a video card in "analog" mode.

However, I recently found a DVI cable for only $19.00 ( instead of the $69.95 ones made by Belkin ) and found that my LCD was in fact a tad sharper. Not much, but just enough to make you go out and find a reasonably priced DVI cable.

Since most DVI to Analog "adaptors" run $15 bucks, you might as well just find a DVI cable for a few more dollars and run in the Digital Mode!
