P275 VGA vs. DVI connection

[Alfred Geskin]

I am setting up 2 p275 monitors on a radeon card. They will take DVI or VGA
connectors.

DVI is better but how much better at high resolutions? The two DVI ports
cost $100 more than DVI + VGA for the two cards I am considering (ATI Radeon
x1600 AGP).

thanks in advance,
Alfred

That connector on the back of the P275 is DVI-A, not DVI-D, which means it
only uses the four analog pins in the connector, giving you image quality
identical to the VGA port. Just use the included DVI-to-VGA cable on one
monitor, and a VGA-to-VGA cable on the other.
