My Mac Pro 1.1 has two DVI ports which seem to be the only ones that I can use for display. I'm using one port with a VGA adaptor to a Viewsonic monitor. Will the other DVI port on the Mac support a 1080p output through an HDMI adapter to the Sony video monitor? If so, is there a DVI to HDMI adapter available for this Mac and will it support 1080p?
Thanks for your help. I'm working with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
