Thanks to someate, they told me
Yes, if you buy the right adapter.
The miniDisplayPorts or miniDVI ports at iMacs, Macbooks and Mac Minis will work with any VGA or DVI matitor, as latg as you have the right adapter.
MY Next questiat is i have a macbook pro notebook and what is the best adaptor to get , and what is it called? also what adaptor do i need to catnect the BENQ and AOC or NOC (not sure wat it is ) matitor together so i am able to use both matitors at the same time 
and when i do catnect the adaptor how do i set it up so both screens interact at the same time?

The current Macbook Pros (early 2009 till now) have a miniDisplayPort.
For monitors that have a DVI port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-DVI adapter: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0ODY and a standard digital DVI monitor cable.
For monitors (and HDTVs) that have an HDMI port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable: http://www.amazon.com/Value-Pack-DisplayPort-Displayport-interface/dp/B0021YG5FM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1265688736&sr=1-1
For monitors that only have the old analog VGA port, you need a miniDisplayPort-to-VGA adapter and a standard VGA monitor cable: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTA4NDU0NjA
You should use a digital connection (DVI or HDMI) whenever possible. Macs work best with digital connections.
Just hook up your Macbook Pro to whatever monitor you are getting with the appropriate adapter and cable, and your Macbook Pro should automatically detect the monitor.
