RGB analogue typically is the standard 15-pin (3 rows of 5) small connector.

DVI is that thing which has the cross-shaped bit and 3 rows of pins.

Most older systems don't have DVI, but the RGB analogue (VGA plug) is 
sometimes good enough.

Worst case, if you have a spare PCI or AGP slot, get a $29 Geforce 5200 card 
with a DVI plug.
