The MacBook Pro has a dual dvi plug that is single, probably a special plug or something. It's technical...

If that pic is correct then that's not a dual output DVI plug. There aren't any flat pins on the dual outputs. I'm guessing the pic is wrong.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. Apple must have a special connector and I guess it's gone mainstream. I'm used to the standard Molex connectors for splitting DVI. That could be why the DVI port is a different color, i.e. yellow. I'm leaning more towards one of these, HDMI baby:
