Uhh, miniDVI to mini Display port? i don’t know, never tried it.

Ok from looking I dont thnk there is such a cable

So I could do this I suppose

iMac – Mini Display Port – DVI – DVI to Mini DVI = iMac – Dual Screens

Anybody know if that may work ??

Only the new 27-inch iMacs are capable of Target display mode. That means that you’ll be turning your fancy new iMac into a dumb monitor, and actually running your apps on your older, slower iMac. Personally, I’d go for the speed and get a separate external monitor for the new iMac if necessary.

The apple monitors are very expensive that the only issue

iMacs will work with any computer monitor as long a you have the proper adapter cable.
