Is it possible to get two iMacs working together as a dual screen?

I have two sat side by side and would be nice to be able to sue both screens

you can only mirror on an imac (unless you hack the system, which can be done, google it)

Not really relevant, but the new iMacs allow you to hook up a second screen to extend your desktop ... which is nice.

Take in more pixels

Designed to live in any room of the house, iMac now offers features that make it every bit at home in the office. For the first time ever, iMac lets you use a second display in extended desktop mode, in addition to simply mirroring the first. The mini-DVI port lets you connect to DVI displays, VGA monitors and projectors, and S-Video and Composite connectors, with the appropriate adapter (sold separately). iMac graphics supports up to 23-inch Apple Cinema Display.

No idea about the ports on my old iMac but Im guessing its non of the above?
