Will this display setup work

[InsightsIE]

I have a 17' Macbook pro with express card. Can I Get the vidock 2 then connect the dvi to the dvi to mini display port then to the 24" apple led display

No. The display port input requires display port signalling/protocol. The non-powered converter cables are directional: they go from display port to dvi but not the other way. You need a ~$150 powered protocol convertor box.

Not quite sure what you're looking to do but this might be the ticket;

It's a powered DVI-to-Mini DisplayPort... So you can connect DVI based PCs/Macs to Apple LCD Cinema Displays.
