Video card

Hello all,

I need help, please. My video card has dvi and vga ports available to use. My monitor has a hdmi port, how do I get the hdmi monitor to work? A friend told me I need to get a dvi-hdmi cable. Can someone please help me with this?

Monitor: Hannspree 20"
Windows: xp

Thank you,
Chloe

Although, if your monitor also has a dvi port.....I don't think you're going to see any difference in quality between using dvi or hdmi.

so, you mean all I have to do is to connect the cable to the computer and the monitor? That's it? Thank you so much for all of you guys' help. I like newegg, but it's quicker for me just to shop at Fry's.
