Are you sure your (unspecified) ATI card has a DVI connector. If it shipped from the factory with that card then it is most likely and ADC port not a DVI port. ADC is just DVI with extra pins for power. You can pick up an adaptor that will let you use that port with normal DVI displays pretty easily.

Edit:

Here's one on the US Apple Store:http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APP...LATObeIc3E74okA2uWyQmAw/1.5.0.5.14.0.5.0.13.0

I would imagine that the ADC->DVI adaptor would be cheaper (and will have the same quality as DVI as the ADC port has full DVI in it) but you could try and find one of these

either new (unlikely) or on eBay.
