sup guys, i recently bought a hd 5850 and i was interested about the eyefinity technology, i saw on amd webpage that i need a monitor with displayport to be able to run it and i only haave three dvi monitors, can i buy a displayport to dvi adapter and conect oone of the monitors to the displayport??

this is what i found: http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Male-DVI-D-Female-Adapter/dp/B002JCL7I6/ref=sr_1_16?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1281112624&sr=1-16

is there anything i should consider when getting the adapter besides that it has to be a female adapter?????

You can use an adapter like this one shown in step 2 on this website: http://howtoeyefinity.webs.com/
It is only 25 bucks but it converts it to vga, but still way cheaper and can still do hi res
