If you go from DVI to VGA then you don't have to worry about the 2 clock generators

Instead of special ordering an $100 adapter from Dell, you can grab the $50 one at your local shop.
Got anything to back that up Mister?

AFAIK, most regular "over the counter" adapters, even those that are supposedly active, will NOT work. However, the Dell/Bizlink ones have been tested and Proven to work. They're not just expensive because theyre rare btw... they're expensive because they're powered (via USB) and have 3+ chips within them to create the clock and convert the DP signal to DVI.
