You must check which outputs ur card has.

Possible, I have a full HD 24' VGA TFT monitor connected on a DVI port using a DVI to VGA adapter.

Erm when I looked closer that cable doesn't look at all like a dvi-i :S

Here are much cheaper adapters that'll do the same job...

I'm not sure.
Zaczac what Graphics Card will you use the adapter for?

Most (retail) graphic cards with a DVI port and no VGA port come with a DVI>VGA adapter.

Its better than the 8700, but, if you can, better take GTX275+

Computers older its AGP 8x... so that card is an AGP version,
another question would my computer ever be able to play crysis on any setting with that 4670 card?

1.5gb ram
P4 3ghz
windows xp..

Yeah, it should be able to play Crysis. But you'll be bottlenecked by your slow P4. I'd recommend an entire system upgrade (although I'm assuming you're short on the money) rather than just upgrading a single component. Crysis will probably tear through your 1.5GB of RAM on larger maps, and the AI and physics will slow your system down on the CPU side.

With a good system, the HD4670 should do about medium at a good frame rate.

There's so much bullshit in this thread. The bottom line is, in order to use a DVI-VGA adapter, the card must have a DVI-I connector. Every consumer card with a DVI connection is DVI-I, an adapter will work fine.
