I have a EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 512 MB graphic card installed on a Windows 7 system that is used primarily as a media center using XBMC. The PC is connected to a Sony LCD using HDMI and works fine (both audio and video through HDMI)
Now, I wanted to know if there is anyway to find out if my EVGA GeForce 8400 GS is HDMI CEC compatible so I can use my TV's remote or a Universal Remote to control both the LCD and XBMC

I would bet good money the card is not CEC capable. Very little PC equipment is.
Assuming your television is capable (and Sony used to limit theirs to Sony equipment only!), you'd want an HDMI-CEC to USB bridge. Like this:
Again: Sony equipment (last I knew) only communicated to other Sony equipment via CEC.
