I'm thinking of buying a new monitor - upgrading from a 17" CRT to an LCD monitor that's at least 19". However, I love the 20" Apple Cinema Display but there's one thing I'm unsure of - are they compatible with PCs or only with Macs? I have a graphics card with a DVI port (ATI Radeon 9700 Pro) and I'm running Windows XP Pro.
Thanks guys. 
yes, they are compatible with PC's, heres a section found on the ACD page
"About VESA
The Video Electronics Standards Association promotes and develops timely, relevant, open display and display interface standards, ensuring interoperability, and encouraging innovation. By choosing the VESA standard mount, Apple lets you choose any mounting solution that is VESA compliant. Choosing the VESA standard for DVI lets you select graphics cards that are VESA compliant to connect an Apple display to a PC."
They are compatible with PCs too...
Thanks guys. I've been looking at the supported resolutions. They don't go below 1024... so what happens when I play a game at a resolution of 800x600? How would it be displayed on the monitor? And would it infact be displayed at all, or would I have to push the game up to a resolution of 1024x768?
It'll be displayed, just stretched uglily like it would be on any LCD monitor.
I assume it'd do something like this:
