Is it me or are all the graphics cards now using only DVi and HDMI inputs.

Maybe i missed something as i dont physically have a newer card, but in the pictures theres no VGA connection.. Is VGA now gone? If so that means when i upgrade my graphics (hopefully to a 7900) i may have to buy a brand new monitor!

VGA is infact the type of resolution: 640 x 480
you probably mean the 15 pins D-sub sonnector :p
jeah, it's slowly fading.

don't know what the max data throughput of a D-sub cable - connector is?
probably not enough for extreme resolutions on a 30" panel!

i use a CRT with D-sub on my DVI output; works great!

thats exactly the right way to go! you can either get a cable that adapts it or a small little junction either way it'll cost you about a fiver
