Yes, it is a very common adapter, go pick one up!

Edit: you said it wrong. There are no vga to dvi adapters. There ARE dvi to vga adapters.

actually, u can search most electronics stores and not find a VGA->DVI adapter.... its usually the other way around so you can get a flatpanel on a regular graphics port... i went to frys and best buy and they didnt carry them... i thought it was very odd, so you all think i should just get an adapter?

I have an extra one. They usually come with any card that has a dual display feature. My local PC store carries them also.... has a ton of them www.Dalco.com

These adapters were hard to find last year when I needed one, but are quite common now. Pay no more than $15.
