Connecting new Mac Pro 8 core to older Cinema displays
I just got my new 2010 Mac Pro 8 core and I’m trying to connect it to my older 30 ” cinema display as well as a second Samsung 24″ LCD/monitor. Both monitors have the same connections on the back. I ca get my cinema display to work with the Mini DisplayPort to Dual link DVI adapter, but how d I hook up the second Samsung LCD monitor? Do I need a different adapter? Suggestions?
Thanks very much. -

Do you have the ATI with 3 ports? if so the DVI is a dual link and the 30″ goes to that with no adapter needed, then you just need a Mini DP to DVI for the other monitor. All on apple’s site
“Note: If you are using more than one Mini DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI adapter, only two displays are supported across the three ports. To connect up to two Mini DisplayPort displays and up to a 30-inch DVI display simultaneously, use the ports without any adapters. To connect two DVI displays, use the dual-link DVI port and the Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter or the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately). To connect three DVI displays at once, you must use two Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapters (sold separately). To connect up to three VGA displays simultaneously, use the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter and DVI to VGA adapters (sold separately).”
