ATI AIW 9600 PRO - DVI Adapter?

I just bought the All-In-Wonder 9600 Pro from Newegg to replace an older AIW Radeon. I guess I didn't do my homework because I was shocked that it didn't have a DVI connector. I'm trying to decide whether to send it back for something else, or just get an adapter to go from VGA to DVI (my monitor is DVI only). I don't need dual monitor support, but I'm also not thrilled by spending more money for the AIW 9700 PRO or 9800 PRO. Assuming I can find one, is there any downside to using an adapter?
 
I'm using a DVI Adaptor with my GF4Ti4200 right now and I don't have any problems with it. The monitor that is connected to the DVI adaptor looks great. No downside that I can see.

RaymondY, any problems finding the adapter? I was going to stop at MicroCenter or CompUSA today. Most of the ones I saw on their web sites were the wrong gender.
 
I don't think the adapter will work. I found one, hooked it up and got nothing on the screen. I put my original AIW card back in and it worked. I did get the following email back from ATI. They don't say that an adapter won't work, but that's my conclusion since they don't make an adapter and mine doesn't work. I guess I'll return it and get something different.

From ATI: The All in Wonder RADEON 9600 has only Two VGA displays simultaneously and it can be connected with a TV or VCR. The board does not have a DVI connection. ATI does not have any adaptors that converts the VGA to DVI.
