Yes....... I know... I know... what I meant was 'new to me'. My Mac Pro was an "upgrade" to me in every other way. It was admittedly naive of me to imagine that just because my Mac Pro cost £3,000 more than a Macbook Pro when new it would support three displays out of the box. I know better now and was merely hoping that another 6,1 user could show me the most cost-effective way of doing this i.e do I need to put an active dual-link adapter on one of the DVI displays, or both of them, or is there another work-around.
I know a lot people round here think the 6,1 is some kind of dinosaur but from my chair it's a Pro Tools rocket-ship and I love it. It cost me £2,000 second hand and was money well spent. I've checked and it out-performs the 5,1 12 core 64GB machine at the studio despite the latter having faster processors.
