So it will work? I thought so.. a guy on youtube used it for his eyefinity setup, Was just getting some clarification before i go and purchase it, thanks for confirming with me reberto

Yes the apple Active DP adapter works fine but you may need to use a seperate 240VAC-USB power adapter if you have issues with it.

First of all, please don't bump threads before 24 hours of inactivity.

You just need a mini-DP to DP adapter. It looks like this though I'd assume you can find them cheaper. Maybe not, though, since most users needing one are Apple users and so prices will be a tad higher.

i think thats the wrong one, it needs to be female to male, like this ...

Ah, that is true. Good thing you didn't listen to me.

And here I'm supposed to know what I am doing.
