These two are not compatible are they?

Yes, they are compatible. DVI-I has both the digital and the analog
signals on the same connector, DVI-D does not include the analog
signals. You should be able to plug your DVI-D cable into your 9600 and
have it work just fine.

Any thoughts on a DVI-D card that rivals the 9600 Pro and in the same
price range?

secondary)

arth,
How do you like that new Sony LCD?

Mike,
I like it a lot so far, however it is sitting next to a fuzzy 10yr old
Iiyama crt......

Subjectively:
It does not feel 'grainy' like the 18" LG I use at work (both 1280x1024
native) and it seems fairly equally bright over the whole screen compared
with the 15" Compaqs we also have, which show a lot more noticable
light/dark patterning. I haven't spotted any dead pixels yet.
The vertical view angle does not seem as wide as I was expecting. There is
more change in brightness and hue for not much raising/lowering of head
height, compared with horizontal movement, which shows hardly any change for
quite a large angle.
The OSD/menus are easy.
I don't use the built-in 'speakers'.
I would like it to tilt back a bit more sometimes.
3 inputs is great.
It is 15% too expensive.

Also it is still to be put through it's paces for all the uses it will get
(programming, photography, video, games etc...) so I don't know about colour
accuracy yet.
