I already ordered it, but sadly i doubt it will work because i haven't seen anyone mention it in this thread....must be a reason. Is it because it doesn't have a dual (mini displayport AND USB connection?) This confused me because it does specify in the description that it is for dual-link dvi.
Any enlightenment on if this will work, or what cable is recommended will be much appreciated. I've also read about the one from monoprice.....everything is about 10x the price than this though, so I thought it was worth a shot
Thanks!

Nope, won't work. The real DL-DVI adapter have a USB cable too to provide extra power to the converter box. You must get one that has the USB cable as well. The cheapest you can find one is for 50 dollars.
