I'm guessing more of dual and single rather than dual link and single link. At least thats how I read it as.

DVI is going the way of the dinosaur. I'm surprised it;s still being used.

Not really, displayport isn't enough of a standard and no other formats can handle high refresh rates.

I could use HDMI but what's the point when there's no visual difference over DVI? Another reason is that I tried HDMI but I couldn't turn off the volume on those poxy 1w speakers manufacturers throw in their monitors.

I use a 10m HDMI cable too to reach my TV, that's the only useful scenario IMO.
