As of now, I only have a VGA port on my card... does this mean I have to install the analog drivers? Or can I still run on digital?

DVI is a digital link that is mainly used on LCDs, which allow direct pixel transmission, versus an analog mode that only displays a picture. You could take an example on standard video RCA, and a S-Video one.

And yes, VGA is an analog port. And what do you mean by analog drivers?

... I wasn't aware there were analog and digital drivers. I was under the impression the drivers were drivers, and that's it. Which I'm pretty sure it is. They make drivers special to your card, so you don't have to worry about analog or digital.

Ah, analog for that. :) If you switch to a DVI input, you can change that to digital, but it shouldnt matter. I have both connected on my 19" lcd, and I use it as a source selector. :D

PC1 = VGA
PC2 = DVI
