AMD Radeon HD 5800 and Thunderbolt?
My AMD Radeon HD 5800 Series video card has what look like thunderbold ports on it. My question is, can I use these ports to connect a thunderbolt Hard Drive to my computer?

no, those are mini displayports (same form factor), you cannot use a thunderbolt device in a mini displayport, but it DOES work the other way, i.e. a mini displayport device will work in the thunderbolt port
there is currently no way to add thunderbolt to machines, like the old silver tower mac pro, that did not originally come with thunderbolt
