You will not be able to convert... there is 3 different DVI's. Dvi-d (digital) Dvi-a (analog) and Dvi-I (interlace, both digi, and analog) 99% of DVI is DVI-D. Vga,Svga and XGA are all analog (1024x768 is the highest they can go as far as definition. What you can buy is a software converter. which is basicly an analog to digital converter(100bux +) hope that helps any other Q's just ask.

Yeah I noticed that when it is a DVI Analog, it got a few missing spikes in the middle in the plug..u kw.. I m assuming it is a method to match up with analog images..

I sure as hell am not going to buy the software converter.. I m positive that if I use the PC input properly, it will show up fine on the tv.. I am fine with 1024x768 resolution..

But my question is that which is going to be a better picture or is there even a difference between using the adapter and run the M/M VGA cable or just use the DVI-VGA cable?

First, what is the native resolution of the TV? I can honestly tell you, that the DVI/HDMI conversion is going to yeild much better results Most digital graphics cards will have software that will allow you to streatch the screen until it fits the TV
