Its no problem at all. I received the apple adapter today, so I put it on the side, now all I'm waiting on is the dell and of course my 5870 lol.

5870! Jealous, funds only stretched to a 5850 here, but there could be worse things in life! :)

I live in Croatia, so i cant order from USA 90% of the time.
I've registered to myus.com as recommended by previous poster fauntlaroy.
I paid 10$ and recieved US address and a phone number in my mail, that i can use for filling shipping address required by the seller.

Went on Dell US and bought the adapter online, using the address info provided to me by myus.com

When/if it arives, i will confirm here.

I recieved a mail from Dell and they have shiped the adapter.
Now i'll see if myus.com will play their part.

I live in Norway, and used international checkout via the sewelldirect-site to purchase my adapter. Including shipping and vat I ended up paying almost three times the price, good thing I make a lot :) .

However, the reason for registering is that according to a discussion on norwegian tech site hardware.no and their forums hosted on diskusjon.no (meaning discussion.no), some guy claims that calling the local dell spare part provider and asking for part no XT 625 (dell apparently confirmed this is the active adapter) actually solves the problem living in Norway where this item is "unavailable" by simple means. His total cost including shipping turned out being around 560 NOK (which by the current exchange rate vs $ is less than the common $ 100 mentioned here). My transaction ended up at 1500 NOK :) in comparison...

This link is to the page discussing the matter, elegantly translated using google translator. The post in question is the third from the top, from a guy named MIRACL. <- safe link

They delayed mine. So I got the Apple one for now.

The 5850 is still a beast of a card and with the asus bios, I have seen em overclocked to where they are giving the 5870 a run for its money.

I shipped the apple display port and adapter to you today so in a week you should be three screening with the rest of us!

I can't wait! Currently using a GTX275 with a TH2G so enjoying three monitor gaming ATM but am hoping to see a performance increase with the 5850. :D

Just posting for the record, I was not able to get Eyefinity three screens running simultaneously with the cheap adapter from Monoprice.

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042802&p_id=5969&seq=1&format=2

I tested with 1920x1200 screens, and although doubtful, it might work with screens that are 1920x1080 and less in resolution.

With this adapter hooked up, I did receive the message to enable the third screen, I would need to disable the first or second screen, which is the message I assumed = fail for this adapter.

Dave, if you guys want to give it a shot, let me know and I'll ship it to you.

myus.com did a great job for me. They received the adapter from dell in 2 days and sent it to me the same day. It took just 2 more days for it to arive here in Croatia :o
I really didnt expect the whole deal to be done in just a week.
The cost (customs and delivery) was 50$
I is happy a lot :D
