DVI-VGA Converters

I just bought my first flat panel monitor, which is a Samsung 930B. The 930B has VGA and DVI connectors but only comes with a standard VGA cable. Will DVI-VGA adapters transmit a DVI signal, or will it be VGA (analog)? I would connect the supplied VGA cable to the DVI output port on the back of the video card to the DVI input on the monitor. (You guessed it - I found out how much DVI cables cost! )
Edit: May have found inexpensive DVI cable at Sam's Club, but would still like to know about the DVI adapters' function.

DVI gives so much better looks on things, especially desktop usage and normal windows usage. There's also a MS tool called Cleartype which enhances it even further.
You can still use the analog cable to one of the other systems if you like. That monitor can serve as a KVM, but without the mouse and keyboard.
