Question about Mac Powerbook and Dell LCD monitors?

I have a Mac Powerbook G4 and I want to get a Dell LCD monitor (model E207WFP). If I want to run dual screen (meaning using the internal screen and lcd as one bog screen) do I need an adapter or is it just plug and play? I called Dell but the customer service rep didn't know what I was talking about but that's not a big surprise!

Answer:

That monitor has both VGA and DVI. You powerbook has a DVI output. As long as the monitor comes with the DVI cable, you just plug and play. If the monitor comes with a VGA cable, the powerbook when bought came with a DVI to VGA adapter. You should not need anything.
