Hello Everyone,
I have two iMacs. One is a 2012 model and the other is a mid 2007 model. Would I be able to use the mid 2007 model as an extra monitor?
I was going to purchase a mini dvi to mini display port cable and see what happens but I think it would be a good idea to see what everyone else thinks. Thanks for any suggestions!

I am thinking that won't work. The older iMac's video port only goes on direction - out. It won't take the signal from the newer iMac. You might be able to do something with this software;

Thanks for the quick response! 🙂
I had a feeling that was the case. I'll definitley check out Screen Recycler though. Thanks again!
Is it possible to have a dual screen setup with an iMac (2012) and an iMac (mid 2007)?
