Does the 2405 fpw have a dual link dvi connection?

I found a website that explains the difference between dual link and single link dvi here:

http://www.datapro.net/dvi.html

Also found the formula here to calculate pixels per second(tmds bandwidth):

Found another site with some maximum displays settings for single and dual link here:

It seems with a dual link dvi capable card and if the monitor has a dual link capable input you should be able to push some higher refresh rates on the native 1900X1200.according to the above. The question is what cards are capable of dual link dvi? Lots of cards say dual dvi but that just means 2 monitors I believe.
 
Heh, it wont hurt to try 2405 on a dual-link but u won't benefit one bit from that increased bandwidth. 2405 is designed for single-link DVI and within its limitations, and at the highest setting, it accepts a 154mhz signal, no more.
 
also as far as i know that macintosh 6800 card and like one other are the only cards with dual link dvi
 
Finally found the specs to the 2405fpw through the user guide on dell's site. It seems through nvidias site that the new 6800 ultra 512 will support dual link dvi. Only monitor that requires it is that apple right now though.
