ATI Radeon 4850 to VGA

[homers_odessa]

Hi all
Just a quick question that I have not seen answered (specifically) anywhere else. I have just bought a new system with the 4850 as my graphics card, however my existing monitior only has 15 pin VGA input. I take it I can use a DVI - VGA cable to use my existing monitor with this card?

Yes just get one of these.

DVI to VGA Adapter.

Cheers, so does that have a digital to analogue converter within it, or can DVI output a analogue signal? Sorry just dont know that much about DVI, thought it was purely digital and VGA analogue and so would not be compatible with a simple adapter.

Anyway thanks very much for the advice so far, getting the system put together so will make sure they provide the adapter provided with the card.

If it doesn't come with one (which it should), they're only cheap.

Cool, had a quick browse of the maplin catalogue online. Spoke to my manufacturer anyway who said they would send along all the peripherals that come with graphics / sound cards etc.
