Both sides must have dual-link or you'll use single-link. Basically,
you'll have to check specs for individual displays. Whether it's
single-link or dual-link isn't "too" important compared to whether it
supports the desired resolution using the desired connector (i.e. 1080p
via DVI or 1080p via VGA or ...)

Don't know.

Sure--assuming the card allows (i.e. can keep up with all those pixels,
...).
