The market will eventually phase it out. It takes time for things to obsolete, so at this point, the only way to help is to vote with dollars and buy the motherboard with the DVI port.<br><br><br>It will happen eventually; when was the last time you bought a motherboard with an ISA slot, or the larger AT keyboard connector?<br>

I refuse to believe that the average consumer is building PCs from<br>
parts purchased through newegg. But the fact remains that putting a<br>
VGA port on a mobo does not increase your market, it limits it.<br>

I will say, though, that the PS2 comparison is a valid one. It<br>
doesn't justify anything though.<br>
<br>
Also, I don't think Dell sells anything with only analog out.<br>
