Can I use a Mini Display port to dual DVI Adapter or only to single DVI Adapter?
Should I use the Mini Display Port to single DVI Adapter or to dual DVI Adapter when I hook up my NEC 2690 MultiSync 26in monitor to my new MacBookPro 17in? I know the dual will give me a higher resolution for working with my photos, but didn't know if I can use it? I'm running OS 10.6.3.

Answer
You just need the single DVI Adapter. You only need the dual DVI Adapter if you ar working with a resolution of 2560x1600. The only monitors that use that resolution are 30" monitors. Your 26 inch NEC has, at most, a resolution of 2560x1440.
