It is white and i assumed it was dvi. I need to convert to hdmi. But it isn't dvi or vga. has rows of holes with a single hole filled in. It is from ati radeon card.

It uses what they call a DMS-59. Google it. If you get one of those in a DVI format ( They come DVI and VGA) and then get a DVI to HDMI adapter you can use it.

NOTE: You CAN NOT GET SOUND THOUGH THIS CONNECTION ON HDMI. If that is what you want you're better off getting a card with an HDMI on it.

Exactly! I put the card in so I could have two vga monitors. I have upgraded systems and wanted to move this one to T.V. but the hdmi doesn't work since the card was installed. Do they make that kind of "end" to Hdmi cable?

Thanks everyone for the help! At risk of annoying everyone, would just taking it out then allow the intergrated hdmi port to work again? Really don't want to buy another card for a computer that will be used just for hulu and netflix.

Yes. That will work. What kind of PC is it? Is it a named brand? If it is they always disable onboard video when a video card is added in. If its a custom built one then it should still work but either way you should still be able to run Dual monitors even with onboard video especially if its a Core i Series.
