I want to able to utilize my classic iMac (Mid-2007 with upgraded CPU and RAM) as a secondary display when connected with my MacBook Pro.
My iMac has the following video ports: Mini DVI, FireWire 800, 400 and my MacBook Pro has the following video ports: Thunderbolt MiniDP and FireWire 800.
What option cable(s) will make the extended video display feature work?

Let m know, thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
Sorry, that is not possible. The 2007 iMac cannot be used as a Target display in Target Display Mode.

Networks Screen Sharing may be available. Slow but it works on a very basic level.

A standard external monitor will use far less energy and allow extended desktop. Screen sharing can only mirror.
Other than Target Display Mode, what other options will make it work?
Sorry, there is no other option.
extended display option
