[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1644001, member: 56379"] Sorry…but you're misidentifying this iMac. It is not a "G5" iMac…it is simply an Intel iMac. The older iMac doesn't have a mini-displayport…it has a mini-DVI port. The newer iMac has a Thunderbolt port…but you can use mini-displayport hardware with this port. Now we have the computer info figured out. But we still don't really know what sort of external monitor we are talking about (what exact model it is & what ports it has). And since you mentioned two iMac's…I'm not understanding which iMac you want to use the external monitor with (one or both). If both…your going to need two different video adapters (one with a mini-DVI and the other with mini-displayport). - Nick [/QUOTE]
