I have a brand new build that was on Windows 8. After many compatibility issues I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
The systems specs are as follows:
I7-3770k
Intel DZ77GA-70k
Intel 520 Series 240GB
32GB Corsair Memory
HD7970
Several 2-3TB SATA drives
I formatted and reinstalled...
I do not game at all. Strictly extreme multitasking with 4x24" monitors. Lot's of RDP sessions. Fair amount of Photoshop as well. Reliability is paramount.
I'm pretty sure the one I ordered will suffice. I've never had an issue with Startech cables in the past. The recommendations are only what they guarantee will work. Since it's clear that they can't obviously test every cable and adapter, there are plenty of cables and adapters that will work...
Ok - so to hook it up to my 2408WFP I need a displayport to mini-displayport cable...
