The white MacBooks still have the mini-DVI port.
Mini-DisplayPort is kind of annoying - The port itself supports audio,  
but no adaptors currently support it. There is no mini-DisplayPort-

proprietary crap even though you can license the port for free from  
Apple, no one has made anything for it except Apple so far.
