HP dv7 w/ATI HD 4250 and 30" monitor?

[Tubal]

I've got an HP dv7 notebook with an ATI HD4250 card. It's got an HDMI output.

I'm wondering if it will run a 30" Apple Cinema Display at 2560x1600?

The display has a DVI dual link cable, so I'd have to get an HDMI-DVI adapter obviously, but I'm wondering if the card will run it at this resolution. I've googled for hours, and most of it says that you need a card capable of outputing dual link DVI or you won't get the full resolution.

Any help?

Thanks,

Phil

It depends on the version of the HDMI port, see specifications here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

Thanks for the quick response.

I was wondering if the notebook video card actually supported this resolution. I can buy any adapter I need to if the video card will actually output this resolution. I've read that some cards/ports only support 1920x1080 over HDMI, and I haven't been able to find any specifics on this card.

Thanks,

Phil
