ATI All-In-Wonder 128 32MB

[glide4ever]

Is this card a good option?
Does it support all the options?

This ATi card is the world 2D champion. Its 2D acceleration functions are incredible! in 3D, the card has a good position and it's a direct concurrent for the GeForce2 GTS.
The capturing functions are very good, like time shifting, real time (software) mpeg encoding and so on.
But I would recommend seperate cards: an ATi radeon 32MB DDR + seperate TV-card (pinnacle Studio PCTV Pro is a good one). Why? because if you buy the all-in-wonder card, you will not be able to take advantage of the functions of the BT-878 chip that comes with usual TV-cards ;)

I ment the radeon all-in-wonder. The all-in-wonder 128 is too old (like mine!).

Don't use any older ATI chipsets anymore! Many current games (2001) had incompatibility issues with older ATIs. Use Radeon instead!

What can the separate TV cards do which the All-in-one video cards can't?

bt8x8 chips can decode analog pay-tv programs
