Aug 23, 2013 9:25 AM in response to meltserby lllaass,No. The 30" display is 2560 × 1600
The specs for your Mini are
Video Card: HD Graphics 3000 VRAM Type: Integrated Details: This model has an Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics processor that shares memory with the system.
Also see: What type of video system is provided by the Aluminum Mac mini models? Which are integrated and which are dedicated?

Aug 23, 2013 1:03 PM in response to meltserby lllaass,★HelpfulYes, you should be able to get the native resolution from the mini display port/Thunderbolt output. I do not think you need the Dual-Link adopter unless yo want to use USB on the monitor
You shuld also get 1920x1200 from the HDMI but look at this
Apple Cinema Display (30-inch DVI) has 1280 x 800 as the maximum available
The only problem would be that 1920x1200 does not look that good. on the 30" display.

Aug 24, 2013 9:23 AM in response to meltserby lllaass,No, some problem. The MB only has the ThunderBolt/mini display port video out and HDMI video out.

Aug 24, 2013 1:41 PM in response to lllaassby meltser,The macbook pro does has 2 thundebolt ports so if I get another Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter do you think it will do the work
