Yep, lot of 5 series users looking for those, once they find out they can't use a cheapo cable for 3 displays.

ATI realeased a new bios for the 5870. It fixes a compatibility problem with display port adapter.

Wow, only 147$ CDN, I'm sure MB will get it at a better price than that.

i'll correct myself.

In the part of Germany where I use to live.(2006-2007) Milk was .55 (euro cents) a litre.

Beer prices ( lets go with common countries visited in europe)
Canada-- 4.70
France -- 8.30
Spain --- 3.64
Germany 4.07
Netherlands 3.52
United Kingdom 4.81
Austria 4.51
Italy 6.55
Poland 1.85
Czech Republic 1.31

out of those only 3 countries exceed us.

From the places I've been I've seen that beer prices were more expensive, although I guess I was in the touristy places. Gibraltar, Cyprus and Spain (Mallorca to be more specific), I could care less about buying milk.

Passive adapters all over the place are less than 30$, and according to ATi's website they do work (in what capacity, i do not know). I'm not sure software can fix the problem, maybe a BIOS fix could.

Or we all just wait until someone starts making monitors that have DP inputs that sell somewhere that isn't California.
