Should be fine. Unless you have a graphics card with only a VGA plug. Is your current monitor plug in with DVI? or VGA?

EDIT: Here's some picture incase you don't know which is which:

Doesnt matter most all LCDs come with a VGA port and 90% have both VGA and DVI

You're completely right.

my current LCD is VGA so i hope like strangleold says that my new monitor has vga or both
thanks for the help guys

Okay that's not even the issue. Adapters go both ways and are two bucks. If his old monitor is 12" I think the question is if his video card will support the new one's resolution.
