DVI to VGA adaptor won't fit in 9200 :(

I've got a DVI adaptor, and there is a slit thing with4 pins around it, like so:

Now, the gfx card only has the slit, with no holes for the pins around it, so it won't fit.

Is it ok to snap the pins off or is there a special DVI adaptor for this card?

Bah, Looks like my 9200 has a DVI-D connector then...

Does this mean I won't be able to hook up 2 CRT's to it?

Nope I have had Dual DVI cards since 2004 and use CRT's, the adapter "Dongle" should be correctly pinned.

Nice! I may just try snapping some pins off a normal DVi adaptor and see if it would work.

Be safer to order a Dongle from here no ?

Edit: Hmm cant find them, would have thought they had them.

I've had a look as well... no joy. I guess I could drill out the connector on the GFX card, but I think pin snapping would be easier.

As people on the motors forum say: "If it won't fit, make it fit"
