VGA is analong. So your video card will convert digital->analog and send it over the cable to your monitor. Then the monitor will decode it and display it (loss of data).

DVI = Digital Visual Interface. It takes the digital output from your video card and sends it straight to the monitor. No loss of information giving you a crystal clear picture.
