thats the easiest way how?

First things first we need to know what PC you have and what graphics slot is available

Google search majorgeeks:everest download and install the program
Run the program and click motherboard please give us the model number if available

Look to see if you have a PCI E slot or a AGP slot

If you have a PCI E slot then your choise is simple choose a mid spec ATI card ( not an old nvidia card as Tony linked to as this has no sound output meaning more cables and more problems) something like a 4650 or similar costs around £40. search for one with a native HDMI socket and this will easily give you picture and audio

I will link to such a card in a sec

adding a card is simple can you have a look at the back of your pc where the VGA is? is it onboard graphics or is there a card? often there will be a S Video or similar adapter ? if there is then you can buy pc out kits from places like amazon that will give you all the connectiosn you need to do the job.

There are a whole bunch of reasons why it might or might not work though but its cheap enough to try
