OT HDW question

[Mark Jarvis]

My monitor has a 15 pin VGA port, as does the old computer so it looks 
like an adapter to connect my DVI cable from the new box to the KVM 
switch will make it work. Of course that brings up the question of what 
am I losing by not using DVI?

A quick Google check (which I should have done earlier) showed lots of 
adapters for just a few bucks, so I should be able to pick one up 
locally--which leads back to the "what do I lose" question.

Comments?

Thanks,

Mark Jarvis
