I need to get something so i can hook my laptop upto a projector. Now ideally I'll allways be using DVI, but you never know what a hotel will give you so I want to make sure I cover all my bases.

1. Where's the cheapest place I can buy a mini-dvi to dvi and mini-dvi to vga. I can't find anywhere for less than about US$18 or US$20.

2. If I just buy a min-dvi to dvi and then get a dvi to vga adaper will it work, or is the dvi digital out only?

3. Is there anything I am missing on the subject?

thanks!

1. $18 or $20 is probably the cheapest you'll find it anywhere. You just have to eat it.

2. Dunno, but I know that they sell a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, so...

3. Nope. If you really want to cover all of your bases, buy the following adapters:

Mini-DVI to DVI
Mini-DVI to VGA
Mini-DVI to Video (S-video & Composite)
