HDMI port installation

[jmendis]

I am a noob at computer installations.

I want to install an HDMI port on my computer. What specifications and slots do i need on my computer/motherboard to install one.

I don't need to play games using it, i just want to transfer my desktop computer display to the wide screen tv. So, i don't need any thing to grand.
