MacMini and My Monitor

I have an Apple 30" monitor that I want to hook up to the new mac mini. Will there be any problems. (I'm replacing my PowerMac G5-hopefully).

Thanks.

If it's the 2009 Mac Mini with Mini Dislayport. You can get a Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI adapter.

BUT... if it's any other Mini (intel), then it will not drive a 30" Display. The Intel Integrated graphics in the other Intel Minis only drives up to 1920x1200 (standard 24" monitor size).
