How do you get an Apple Cinema display to work with a PC?
I know you need to get an adapter, which is available from the website. But what about drivers? Does XP have Support for the monitor?

Cause a friend of mine is trying to sell his to me. But since that screen is for the mac i'm not to sure I should get it before I know for sure it'll work with my PC.

You need the adaptor as mentioned - ADC to DVI.

Far as support, don't expect any. It can probably be run as a custom monitor type, and if you can find the ICMs for the monitor anywhere online, you'll be set. Use Powerstrip or some other driver/registry hack to enable widescreen modes if need be.
