Dual Cinema Display scenario

sphereboy · 05:35 PM

Can you run dual DVI Apple Cinema Displays while having a video card that has One DVI port and One ADC port.

Video card: ATI RADEON 9600 XT with 128MB DDR SDRAM, DVI and ADC ports

Yep, no problem at all with using two DVI displays, but you'll need to purchase an ADC to DVI connector cable. They're available from the Apple Store, priced at $29.

yes, get an ADC to DVI converter.

goto the apple store online and search for "adc to dvi"

On that note, I've always wondered if my 1.25 alum Powerbook can run two monitors, one through DVI, and the other through SVideo? Just curious, I don't have either a second monitor or a TV can be used at the same time, but often connect to one or the other for hw or for show and tell
