There are DVI > VGA converters... dont know about the other way, but
if so - it wouldn't do anything to help the picture.

But when it comes to GF2 cards, running anything above 1280x1024 and
highe tends to blur.... but also, LCDs of 18" and larger (1280x1024)
should be DVI - it makes a BIG difference!!

Remember: In the USA - it is illegal to draw or write about Heir Bush in a negative way. The police or SS are called.

15yr old boy in Washington was disciplined for drawing such images.

God bless the land of the free. Where you can burn the Constitution... Ashcroft does it every day.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

If using XP, be sure to visit the MS Cleartype tuner web site to calibrate
your settings.
