Any recent graphics card model would support dual-linked DVI. For example, the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT and newer... or the ATI Radeon 4000 series...

the only worry i have with that is that apple say that the newer macs run
on intel processors and it may not be compatible (my old machine) with the newer cards. please tell me that the ones you have mentioned would work!i'm sure they would be but not definate!

Don't worry. The DVI support has NOTHING to do with the CPU. It is a graphics card feature. The CPU can NOT affect it in any way.

In any case, you can rest assured because I've tried many GeForce cards and they all work beautifully with Intel and AMD processors.

I know he's talking about the Mac. The dual-DVI support has nothing to do with whether it's a PC or a Mac.

If I'm not mistaken, NVIDIA is specifically selling a GeForce 8800 GT for the new Macs. Can consider that card.
