This is probably a stupid question but is there such a thing as a HDMI card
for a computer so you can plug your HDMI monitor into it?

Most any decent video card has the normal connector and also an HDMI
connector.

Mines a dell and it doesn't have one. I found them doing a web search but
they say 256 MB or 512 MB. How do I know which one I want?

Depends on how you want to use the video card. 512 is preferred, but, you
may never need the additional video ram if you don't play games. Also make
sure that the p/c's power supply is up to the task. Many of the higher end
video cards need more power than a low end power supply can provide.

I've got an older 128mb card here and it's just fine - but I'm running
Home Basic too g.

I'm running home basic but I decided that for what I use the computer for I
don't need a better quality picture. I don't do any gaming just regular
surfing, email news group etc.

A 128MB graphics card has all of the memory required plus a lot to spare to
hold all the 1080p buffers required to process 1080i or 1080p video for a
single display system, If you are outputting high resolutions to two
displays and have 1080i sources then a 256MB card is recommended. To have
more memory on a graphics card then is required just requires more power
from your power supply and is a waste of money.
If you are gamer then a 256 or 512 card makes sense.
