Why no DVI on the AIW 9600XT?

And, is it a big deal?

 

I'm not sure as to 'why' theres no DVI... my guess is that they wanted to keep the card small and cost effective, and didnt have room for a DVI header.. but who knows

In a side by side comparison, you may notice DVI is more crisp and clear than VGA in an LCD, but I've only ever heard complaints from extreme gamers who spend all day playing games.

if you have a CRT monitor (which only uses VGA) or arent extermely picky, you wont even notice the difference.
