DVI Port Question

Hi. I just took out my graphics card and the new one will be here in about a week. Now i only have a monitor with a DVI port for a few days (my motherboard has integrated grphics) and i want to use my computer for web and text only for a few days. But the DVI adaptor i have has these additional 4 contacts my motherboard DVI doesn't have. Can i just bend them to the side (or clip them off?) Its only an adapter - or is this an entirely different connection?

You can see here the different types of DVI connector, those pins are for analog video. It should be fine if you pull them out.

Yes, or just buy correct cable.

Pull them out unless that picture is of a DVI-I to VGA adapter. You are trying to connect a DVI-D (digital) monitor to your system....right?
