Can I use DVI-to-VGA adaptors?

Pretty sure I can, but I just want to make sure.
I recently purchased four monitors from Dell that only come with VGA ports.
I also have a quad-video card that comes with two DVI connectors, and two DVI-splliter cables, to give me four DVI output connectors.
Can I use DVI-to-VGA adaptors on these connectors?
If so, will it reduce performance?
I am not a gamer, so that is not a consideration.

Would I be better off returning the four VGA monitors, and replacing them with DVI-capable monitors?  I do not want to do this, as I do not want to increase my expense.

Thanks!

You should be good aslong as they are not dvi-d connections as they are digital only. If you know the model of the video card post it and we can find out what it has.
