I am going to buy BenQ G2220HD 22" LCD display

I already have an EVGA GeForce 9400GT.

Both support DVI. But the confusion came when I wanted to buy a DVI cable.

I am confused with DVI and DVI-D and DVI-I and then Single link and Dual link!

Can someone tell me whether this cable can be used to connect my 9400GT to my BenQ display? If not, what kind of DVI cable should I buy - DVI, DVI-D, single link, dual link, DVI-I??

Basically, geforce docs say it is a dual link dvi capable one. my benq display docs say it is dvi-d. what are my options now? what kind of dvi cable should I get? Please don't give me brands, because most of them won't be here in India. Just tell me the TYPE of DVI cable.
