ok so i have a spare 24" cinema display and would like it on pc.. any cables available to do this ?

or possibly graphics cards with win 7 drivers with the mini-displayport on it...

i know there available with mini-display just wondering if they have win 7 or pc useage..

or a cable from older mac book or mini mac to 24" cinema ? i have a new mini mac with one i want to use this other display on different application ie macbook 13" 2007-2008 models and mac mini dual core older intel graphics.

thank you.

A spare cinema display! Handy.

There are many display port enabled graphics cards... any eyefinity ATi methinks.

"The newest line of AMD/ATI graphics cards, the Radeon 5700 and 5800 series, are the first line to incorporate DisplayPort connector on a GPU-wide level, along side 2x DualLink DVI connectors, and a single HDMI connector. It will allow up to 3 displays on a single graphics card"

But there are many others.

Yes... they are just monitors with an (now) industry standard graphic port.
