Keep in mind that this post is for a two+ year old MacBook (white plastic) which I don't have anymore. I purchased a circa-2007 MacBook Pro since this post, so I don't have that machine in my possession. I do still have and use the same monitor with my the <abbr title="MacBook Pro">MBP</abbr>. Having said that, I believe I used the cable that came with my Viewsonic monitor. Looking at the cable and the handy-dandy DVI chart link you posted (helpful, thanks!) it appears to be DVI-D Single Link. I was also using this <a href="http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9321G/B" rel="nofollow">Apple Mini-DVI to DVI converter</a> at the time. That adapter appears to be a DVI-D Dual Link. Hope that helps, and good luck! @Giovani: Hi! Keep in mind that this post is for a two+ year old MacBook (white plastic) which I don’t have anymore.
