can I run a 30" Apple LCD with my 7800GTX?

Yes, but you can't run two.

Yes.

It has a dual-link DVI port. Might even be able to get playable framerates with that card at the monitor's native resolution. Probably won't be able to turn up AA/AF, but at that rssolution it should look plenty nice.

decent framerates with BF2?

Dual DVI? You mean you can use both ports for one monitor? I am in a similar situation with my Sony FW900 who's maximum resolution is 2304x1440. No card seems to be able to go that high.

Dual DVI means there's basically two ports in one connector to provide the bandwidth needed.

Should be in the upper 60's range with one GTX, maybe near 100 with SLI. Not sure of the exact numbers...check AT's 7800GTX review.

Yes you can run it. Dual DVI IS NOT Dual-Link DVI!!! Do not ever confuse theese terms. Your 7800GTX has dual dvi, and one of those DVI ports is a dual-link. so you can run 1, but not two.

EDIT: I can only imagine having 2560x1600 pixels, the highest resolution monitor i've ever owned was a 1600x1200 CRT that wouldn't go above 75 hz.
