You're right, there are PCI cars out there that have DVI-ports, but PCI cards don't offer very good performance. Plus, you would almost certainly have to replace the 100watt power supply as well.
most importantly, ALL VIDEO CARDS DO DIGITAL VIDEO PROCESSING! The data is then ran through an D->A converter and... heres the fork in the road, you can either: 1. Send both the Digital and Analog data out a DVI-I (which is what virtually all "DVI out" ports are) port, which can be used via a $0.50 DVI->VGA adapter. 2. Discard the (highly valuable and RF interference resistant) digital data and provide only the analog data via a VGA port.
Why do they continue to choose option #2?!?!?!

NO DVI!!! Why on Earth are they putting VGA on these things? If it had DVI, this could easily drive a plasma!
I agree... can't believe they've only including VGA. And there's no PCI-E slot, so there's no way to upgrade that even if you wanted too.
What about some old PCI-graphics card like the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200? They all got DVI-Ports.
