Mini DVI

Mini DVI is a digital common interface on the later G4 12" PowerBook, on Intel iMacs till 2009 and on the white and black pre-Unibody MacBooks and on Intel Mac minis before they changed the design to Unibody.

Mini DVI adapters can be bought online from:

Mini DVI to VGA adapter from Apple
Mini DVI to Video (Composite and S-Video) adapter from Apple
Mini DVI to DVI adapter from Apple

Mini DVI to VGA adapter from Monoprice
Mini DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice

You can purchase upgrades from macsales.com, their products are reliable and normally a little cheaper than others, also great customer support. I go there for all my Mac accessories/upgrades.
