excuse my ignorance but its a while since ive had to install a graphics card.

I put it in the motherboard and everything and only just noticed that there seems to be no plug on it for my monitor, my monitor used to plug into a blue port on the old card now theres only two dvi ports to plug it into, what should I do? Do I need an adapter or something?

Edit:

Actually, turns out I just need a dvi -vga adapter thing, dont suppose anyone has a spare one?

I have a spare one for you if you want it... provided you're in Dublin and can pick it up at my place

I got two with my 7800GTX and I don't ever plan on using dual screens.
