ATI ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON, (32 MB) PCI Video Card

Pros: TV-Tuner, TIVO functionality
Cons: "Only" 32 MB of SDR RAM, expensive, slow(er)

ATI used to be taking all the spankin' when 3Dfx was pimpin' the industry with their VooDoo-based chipset. They made the wrong turn by dropping 32-bit color support and only allowing STB to make their supposedly "next big thing" (the VooDoo 3) and and...

Pros: Great DVD playback, good 2D/3D performance, good analog video capture
Cons: No digital video capture and uses 32MB of slower 166MHz DDR RAM

For a couple of years I’d been looking for a way to input analog video from a camcorder onto my PC’s hard drive in MPEG-2 format. Dazzle had come out with a new product, the Digital Video Creator II, but the fine print said that some Athlon based PC’s...

Pros: Nice features such as DVD and TV. Excellent 2D and 3D graphics.
Cons: Only 32 MB Ram. Incompatibilities with some VIA chipsets.

Having already purchase an ATI Radeon 64 MB VIVO, I was already treated to some visual goodness. I mainly use the Radeon 64 VIVO in my main machine where I play games. Since I was in the process in building a machines specifically for digital video...

Pros: A whole lot of functionality on one card.
Cons: Compatibility issues galore.

I have no doubt that the ATI All-In-Wonder Radeon provides great value to its users. It has a built in TV tuner, accepts composite and s-video inputs, boasts hardware accelerated DVD playback, provides MPEG-2 video capture, and comes with software that...

Pros: Great gaming as well as TV, DVD, and DVI support
Cons: ATI's spotty driver history, GeForce2 Ultra faster in games

ATI has long been known for video cards that delivered numerous features but only mediocre performance. In July 2000, this all changed when ATI released the Radeon chipset, a graphics crunching monster that could challenge nVidia's GeForce2 GTS. With the...

Pros: Works With Windows 2000, Captures Mpeg2, DDR Ram onboard.
Cons: Will Probably not support Windows XP.

I also wrote a review on the All In Wonder 128 I returned twice, Now spending 4 times as much as planned and 3 video cards later I have purchased the All In Wonder Radeon Card. Lets see how this turns out.

Problems
Well.. I had a...

Pros: Awesome quality and speed! Best TV display!
Cons: None

Something "snapped" at ATI last year...
My guess, is that ATI, tired of having their $85 4X AGP (40 FPS Quake III) boards get trounced by 3DFX and Nvidia, decided to get busy and deal out a nice little "reality check" to Nvidia. They haven't...

Pros: There are no Pros!
Cons: constantly freezes, software doesn't work, and 3d acceleration doesn't work.

In my opinion this card sucks. Before i bought this card i have had no problems with ATI video cards. I bought this card for $280. Believe me its not worth it. Before I bought this video card i had the ATI all-in-wonder 8mb video card. I had no...

Pros: DVD playback, TV Tuner, Recording from videos, Tivo like, S-Video
Cons: Screen curve on TV, Update Drivers problem

I got the ATI All-in-Wonder so that I could watch DVD's running on my computer in my office on my big TV in the living room. It was easy to install and fairly easy to use.

The ATI has an S-Video output port and so I bought a long 25 foot...

Pros: Has everything, including the kitchen sink. Fast 3D and High-Quality 2D.
Cons: No showstoppers, but better driver support could propel this card even further.

I don’t consider myself a gamer at all – most of the time I’m doing web design and programming. I had previously been using a Matrox G400, which is undisputedly the king of 2D, outperforming even workstation-level cards in terms of speed and clarity....

Pros: Complete Integrated Video Powerhouse with Awesome 3D
Cons: GeForce 2 Ultra Looming

I have always been a fan of the All-In-Wonder series since my old AIW-Pro. The ability to watch TV and capture video have always fascinated those of us who want to push the PC's multimedia capabilities. This is especially important in tight spots like a...

Pros: Mpeg2 video capture, nice graphics...um, did i mention Mpeg 2 capture?
Cons: poor sound when capturing, poor tech support, computer locks up

Let me give a little background to my situation. I like to record music videos here in japan. I had been using the Matrox G400-TV with no problems and I was happy with it. While back in the states i decided to upgrade my video card, i figure more and...

Pros: Incredible functionality, TV and Digital VCR featues, one mean 3D chip, and excellent drivers.
Cons: A tad pricey, Multimedia Center could be more tweakable.

The ATI All-In-Wonder represents ATI's crowning achievement in the All-In-Wonder series. The features are almost too numerous to count.
First, we have the basic TV viewing application, powered by nicely refined drivers (Available for Windows 2000...

Pros: Digital VCR like Tivo, can record MPEG2, decent chipset, optimized for DirectX8.
Cons: Huge filesize for Digital VCR, Tuner not "crisp", not fastest card.

Background
My Diamond Viper 770 Ultra bit the dust and I needed a replacement. After reading opinions on this card and on other websites, the fact that I could use this as a digital VCR really intrigued me. I decided to give this card a try,...

Pros: Excellent 2D. Decent 3D. Amazing DVD. Cool TIVO and Tuner features.
Cons: No Firewire. No RCA Audio in.

Well, not exactly. But still, I absolutely LOVE my ATI AIW Radeon.

To start with, it is based around ATI's Radeon GPU, which is paired with 32mb of 166mhz DDR RAM. While that is not as fast as the Radeon 64mb's 183mhz, the Radeon core does...
