I HAVE A DELL PC THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HOOK UP TO MY LCD TV USING MY HDMI IMPUT DO THEY MAKE A PC CARD JUST FOR THAT
 
Solution
The easiest thing to do would be to install a new video card with a HDMI output. What model of Dell do you have?

Last, easy on the all caps. Same as yelling. Not cool.

Both christiangordon and cadder are correct. However, because HDMI carries both video and audio and is better suited for HD playback, that is why my original recommendation was made. It really depends on your current video solution and the model of Dell you are using.

That is an old system. Does your model have a stand alone video card or is it integrated (the video) into the motherboard?

That being said, your options for either are VERY limited given the age of the system. I am hoping you have one of the 4600 series with an AGP slot. If so, we can find a solution. If you have the integrated solution, you will be stuck with what you have (in terms of changing video adapters).
