What model/year macbook pro do you have? If it is the newer 2012 models with Thunderbolt, the port is the same--you can plug your mini-display adapter into the Thuderbolt port to use your Cinema Display

What generation of the MacBook Pro do you own? The Thunderbolt port may be used as the same type of port as the Mini-Display Port.

You have a Dual-link DVI port. Try Monoprice to see if they might have an adapter.
