A small and very significant difference in the pin structure... make sure you get the right cable!

DVI comes in 3 flavours

DVI-I which carries both digital and analogue signals. This has the four pins either side of the blade connector

DVI-D only carries a digital signal and doesn't have the 4 pins round the blade. This is what your board has by the sound of things.

The third type is DVI-A which only carries analogue signals and is rarer than hen's teeth.
