Use a Power Mac G5 with the Mini Displayport LCD display

Is there an adapter or card that would let me use the new LCD monitor (with Mini Displayport) with the DVI Power Mac G5?

Edit: Looks like one's arrived:

There is cable for it, but this is male to male cable. If you are using apple's 24 inch mini-display port monitor, isn't the cable built into the monitor? If so, you cannot use this cable. You would need a female display port end.

Currently there is not a male dvi to female display port adapter available that I know of.

It is cheaper to get the cheapest PCI-X16 videocard with DP that fits the G5, and flash its BIOS for working with a mac. Get a card with decent OSX support, like a Geforce 9400M, a Radeon 2600, a Radeon 4650, a Geforce 120GT, a Geforce 130GT, a Geforce 8800GT. See XLR8YOURMAC.com for working options.

You can use DVI to Mini Display Port Converter made by Atlona. Here is place to buy: BZBExpress.com

Good luck
