As of now, there is not an adapter out there allowing DVI to Mini Display. I'm in the same boat as you. I certainly don't want to purchase 2 of these cars just to push two of Apple's LED displays. I hope this helps!

actually you can purchase on of these cards and use an adapter for the dvi connection to convert to a mini display. I am thinking of running two led displays myself. You do not want to purchase two of these cards. reason? this card requires two electrical connections. your mac only has two. If you had two of these cards that would be four electrical connections - which you do not have in your mac. Although this is probably the better card than the Nivida, if you want to run two apple led monitors and have two mini display ports - you will be able to do that with the Nivida cards. They only have one electrical connection each. Besides the Nivida is also only $150 bucks - substantially less - although not as fast but you get the trade off for running two led displays with out the DVI converters. hope that this helps
