Can I drive my ADC display off the Geforce 6800U?

I'm thinking of buying the Geforce 6800 Ultra for my G5. I know that it'll require a DVI to ADC adapter to run my old 17" display, but here's my question: what is Dual DVI, does it have the same plug shape, and will it accept Apple's DVI-to-ADC adapter?



Thanks.

    should work if you have the adapter...



    AFAIK the port is exactly the same, only ALL of the pins are used instead of just half...

    Yeah, I just found out about the "half the pins" deal on Macrumors.



    With an edu discount, I could have the new card+adapter for $640...
