Aother resolution question: Only 1280 X 800 option on Apple Cinema Display 30-Inch

That display only advertises 2 modes:

1280x800x24@60
2560x1600x24@60

2560x1600 will only be supported with a DisplayPort connection. Through HDMI/DVI 2560x1600 will not be available, so the only other resolution supported is 1280x800.

You will need a USB to DisplayPort adapter to get the maximum resolution from this display. There are some listed in the DisplayLink shop:
