Can I use a Mini Display port to dual DVI Adapter or only to single DVI Adapter?
Should I use the Mini Display Port to single DVI Adapter or to dual DVI Adapter when I hook up my NEC 2690 MultiSync 26in monitor to my new MacBookPro 17in? I know the dual will give me a higher resolution for working with my photos, but didn't know if I can use it? I'm running OS 10.6.3.

AnswerYou just need the single DVI Adapter. You only need the dual DVI Adapter if you ar working with a resolution of 2560x1600. The only monitors that use that resolution are 30" monitors. Your 26 inch NEC has, at most, a resolution of 2560x1440.

Answer
I think you have a mini DVI port on that model, don't you? In which case, use need a mini DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI-D cable. I suggest a single link DVI-D cable, as I have had issues with the DVI-D (dual link) cable with my Samsung P23XLHD monitor/tv.

This has the proper pins for DVI-D Dual-Link. Will this work with a 2048x1152 display?
According to wikipedia, this adapter has the proper pinout for DVI-D Dual-Link... however I've seen reports that it is in fact only Single-Link. My monitor (2k by 1k) is over the threshold for dual-link. Is this pinout misleading?

AnswerThis is a single link adaptor. The connector is female, and has holes to allow you to connect a dual link cable so that you don't have to buy a single link cable. With single link (165 MHz pixel clock), you could get 2048x1152 at 63 Hz. Your monitor may or may not support that.
