Can you go DVI to VGA...

If your graphics card only has DVI output but your monitor only has VGA input, can you get something to convert the signal?

Yes. I used to run 2 CRTs from a graphics card that had 1 DVI and 1 VGA.

You need a DVI/VGA adapter and a DVI cable with all the wires connected.

You normally get 1 or 2 Dongels with your GPU.

Good to know, cos i'm thinking of just getting another cheap crt, they last for donkeys years and I have the space, money I save on the monitor can get something better for the pc

The DVI connectors actually carry the VGA signal aswell (the connector has pins that pass through VGA). All the dongles do is change the plug styles - no real magic involved actually.
