No difference.

Provided the VGA cable and DVI-2-VGA addapter/cable are equal quality, there shouldn't be a difference. If one setup has gold contacts and much better shielding ...

I think that VGA to VGA (i.e. going from vga port strait to monitor VGA port) would be better only because of 1 less failure point. The Picture would be unaffected but there is always that slim chance that your DVI adpator is bad.

Only difference is you adding another adapter :lol:
No performance gain, unless DVI - DVI

Agreed, the signal will be the same, the only issue is one more connection to worry about adding noise to.

VGA-VGA better idea IMO.

should make no difference, since DVI outs have analogue outs too.. i do wonder though, if they make so much effort making the analogue interface as high quality as one that was VGA only... (since DVI is intended as the primary output)
