| natsmith9's Full Review: ATI ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON, (32 MB) AGP Video Card |
Yes it is a great card to use. It has great gaming capabilities, you can use your computer as a DVD Player, you can watch your shows while you work or surf the web, and so much more. Even though that this is a great gaming card it's not the fastest out there. The latest and greatest GeForce 4 TI 4600 will run circles around the ATI, but the GeForce 4 costs $400! You can import video by using the little purple dongle by connecting your camera or VCR to it and importing it. Now you can make V-CDs from your deteriorating VHS Tapes. The down side is that when you record a show that you like you need a fast processor and a fast hard drive. You also can't use your computer when you record, even when you have the fastest processor on the market because it will drop frames and get the voice out of sync and well, it's an ugly picture. You can also use this card in conjunction with a DVD-ROM and make it your DVD player!
