[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1561712, member: 24160"] You are trying to go "from" the VGA port "to" the mdp on the iMac. You will need to find a converter to convert VGA to a displayport signal. I'm not aware of anyone making such a converter. The mdp to VGA adapters you can find everywhere will not work - they are one way - displayport "to" VGA adapters. You might start here - [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3924?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#12"]link[/URL]. The easiest and cheapest way is going to be buying an el cheapo VGA compatible monitor. edit: (Also, the only Core i3 in a 27" would be the mid 2010 model - sold thru beginning of May '11.) [/QUOTE]
