Depends on the video card you buy and the TV you have. Different cards have different audio outputs (which means different quality). Same with TVs, newer tvs will have inputs that allow them to display the source video in higher quality.

There should be one called S-Video, but for me I never bothered because my TV's resolution (bought it like in the 90s) is worse than like 800x600, its so pixely its awful. I watched EVER 2004 Finals on it though, that was fun :D

what audio/video outputs does your computer currently have, and what inputs does your television have?

some newer upmarket tv's often have a vga in, your comp will have one. although i'm assuming if your tv had vga you wouldn't be posting.

so aside from that, see if you have an s-video or hdmi input on your tv, you'll need the corresponding output from whatever graphics card you want to get, assuming you don't have those outputs already.

audio is another problem, depending on where you want to hook it up (comp->tv or comp->speakers/stereo). again, check your inputs/outputs

i bought a 15m s-video cable a few years ago, so they do exist

You need to check if your pc has a s-video port (is circular). If it does then you just need to buy a s-video cable, which will connect the pc to the s-video port on the back of the tv. That's only for video display though, you'll need a separate cable for audio: should have a headphone jack on one end of the cable and a yellow and white jack (together) from the other end.

HDMI cables are for higher quality video but are pretty expensive. I use a s-video cable and sometimes watch videos I've downloaded on my tv, and they look great.

Your PC needs an S-video port and an s-video to RGB cable. Most high end video cards have one, i recommend a 4870 or gtx260 if you also want gaming performance.

A P4 motherboard will probably have an AGP slot. AGP cards are kind of outdated but i believe the 3850 has an HDMI out port.

Edit: according to
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d915glvg/sb/CS-020821.htm
your botherboard has a pentium D processor, not a pentium 4. However, you may not have a free pci-e power connector so i recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131144&cm_re=4350-_-14-131-144-_-Product
the 4350 isn't exactly a powerful card, but it has support for HDTV (HDMI) out and is good enough to play older games (hl2 MAYBE, but i doubt it. Things before that definitely.) Also it will only cost you $32.99
