I got a VGA monitor cable connected to a DVI to VGA adapter and they're connected to a VGA monitor and a video card with a VGA & DVI port (DVI port is the one that I want to put to use). I already know that the signal is going to be in analog.
My question is the "analog signal" going to be stronger, weaker or just the same signal?

Stronger or weaker than what?
You will get the best signal with a high quality DVI-A to VGA cable.
Any time you add an extra connection the signals need to get exposed from their co-ax cables in the wire, you will have some impedance and bandwidth limits on the connections, so you will have a 'weaker' signal than a straight connection. How much weaker? Probably not much.
Would you be able to tell the difference between a DVI-A to VGA cable and the monitor VGA cable + a DVI-A to VGA adapter? Probably not. If there was a difference it would probably be very subtle.

No, it is not plausible with out the pins. The DVI connector has the capacity to deliver the two digital (over a common DVI cable ) or analog (over a cable with an adapter) indicators. VGA and factor are the two analog, so if the DVI port would not have analog pins (that is DVI-D rather of DVI-I), you are able to no longer connect the two a VGA or factor cable to it.

Wondered the same when I hooked up mine. Theres no difference mal. Save the dvi connection for a dvi device thats very high quality or you'll be disapointed instead of enthused.
