    Hi

    I was wondering if I could use the Mini-DVI to DVI and then put a DVI - VGA connector(That I got with my video Card) on it to connect it to a monitor at school which has a vga connection because I have a DVI monitor at home and I do not want to buy both connectors. If this matters it would be used with a Macbook

    actually i do not think it works, read the reviews on the apple website under the adapter. If my memory serves me, people were complaining that it wasnt compatible, something aboud DVI-D and I.
