Just curious can use both to drive the 24" LED ACD AND another 2nd monitor via mini dvi?? That would be a dream come true!

I want to know because I already own the 24" LED ACD and if I do buy the top end mac mini I'd like to buy a 2nd cheaper monitor to use it in dual monitor mode and free up my 15" mbp.

I will eat my hat if it has both mini-DVI and mini-DisplayPort.

With mDP you can run a 30" monitor - I assume a DualHead2Go solution will come out someday so you can run two monitors of lower resolution.

I don't think it would worth it. The MBP would still have better performance with the 9600m and the faster processor with more cache.

I would think the mac mini would have almost the same speed as the current unibody macbooks so it wouldnt perform bad at all on the 24" LED ACD.

I really want to just hook it up and play movies on the 24" LED so that I can use the 15" mbp to do everything else.
