Actually, it requires the Apple version of the 6800U, called the 6800U-DDL, for Dual DVI Link. It uses all of the pins in a DVI connection, as opposed to half like normal DVI. Thats how its capable of pushing that many pixels. But the scary thing is, because it has 2 of those connectors, its actually capable of pushing 2 of them, at max res.
Now, that would be a sight to see. Think of what you could do with a desktop space of 5120x1600!!!
Awesome pieces. A friend of mine was at the WWDC when these were shown, and he says that they are simply stunning in person. They had a G5 running 2 of the 30s, and he said he just stared for like 10 minutes. True, for gaming, it is major overkill. But, think of watching DVDs or HD on it, that would be great.
