I just got my new Dell tower and it came with this cable. On one end it had a DVI port and on the other end it had this connector with D and two plus signs:
I need to buy an adapter from this port to VGA. Can someone tell me what is the name for it?
PS. Following the discussion below, here's the picture of the actual port on the Dell XPS 8700 tower itself:
What you are looking at is a DisplayPort connector.
It's a pretty good replacement for what we in many cases use VGA and DVI for.
The picture you show in your question looks like a DVI-D, which is a digital only output.
In order to send this signal to a VGA monitor, you will need an active converter (the cheap 10 bucks DVI-I to VGA adapters won't work).
Unless you need to connect it to a special display device, it would probably be cheaper for you to buy a new monitor than such a converter.
