This might seem like a dumb question, but I am new to this kind of stuff.
I have a 9800 PRO 128MB , ATI retail brand video card, that comes with a DVI-I port. I want to buy this Samsung LCD that has a DVI-D port, how do I plug the two together? and could someone give me a link to the product so I can see it? Also what is the different between single link and dual link?
Thanks in advance

The differences between DVI-I & DVI-D are shown here. The main difference is that DVI-I contains 4 additional pins, which carries an analogue version of the video signal. You need to check whether your Samsung LCD has holes for these pins, otherwise you'll need to buy a DVI-I - DVI-D cable or adapter.
Dual link cables have extra cables to form twisted pairs, meaning that they are capable of supporting greater bandwidths and thus greater resolutions (single link is capable of 1920 x 1080, dual link of 2048 x 1536) - but, AFAIK, very few devices support the dual link standard yet.
Hope this helps
