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
