properly.

My monitor has a max resolution, so yours may too.

The Apple 30" has a max resolution of 2560 / 1600.  The card can do
this easily.  The problem is a function of a missing driver or some
hardware mishap.  However - despite having an educated guess about
this - I am looking for some more concrete advice / knowledge as to
what is wrong.

Perhaps you could go here and download the drivers for the 20" or 23"
Apple display and see if this helps you.  I realize you said that you
have the 30", good for you, you probably get lost in that display. 
This is the closest driver I could find for your hardware:

Thank you for this link - clarification has resulted.  I think the
problem is that while I have a top end card the link is not a dual
link dvi.
