DVI and VGA with a KVM switch?

I have 2 computers.
2 diff vga cards.

1 has a dvi out and a vga out.
1 has a vga out only.

My monitor is a Samsung 213T which has a DVI and a VGA input.

I also control my computers through a KVM(which has VGA ins and outs).

I want to control both my computers through a KVM, using the DVI out from 1 card and the VGA out from another and connect them to the monitor(into the DVI input I guess?? )

Which KVM switch should I get?
Is this possible? And do I gain the benefits of the DVI over VGA by doing this?

I'll look to see if I can find out, but I am doubting it. It sounds like you have the ability to just use VGA on both and the monitor, if so then just do that.

Hint, you only have to hit the button once
