5.0 out of 5 stars Best Video Card Ever!, November 17, 2003

This review is from: ATI Radeon(TM) All-In-Wonder® 9600 Pro 128MB AGP Video Card (100714003) (Personal Computers)

Fantastic all around video card - it does everything! No problems with install and setup (P4 2.66GHZ / 533MhzFSB / 512MB DDR400 / Win2000Pro). The Remote Wonder works great. Guide+ TV listing feature is really cool. I even installed a second TV Wonder VE card to enable PiP and PoP multiviews (you need a second tuner to record and watch different stations simultaneously). Only minor bug I've found is that my mouse pointer disappears in some of the applications such as "TV in web browser" (puts a TV window in the browser's media side bar so you can watch TV and surf the net!). The pointer is still there and still works, I just can't see it. ATI FAQ states they are aware of the problem and are working to fix.

The "Easylook" full screen TV feature with the remote is fantastic. Does everything a TiVO can do (like time-shifting, one-touch record scheduling, etc.)and more - without any subscription charge. Also, unlike a TiVO, you can add as many hard drives as you want to your computer and have an unlimited amount of recording time! I'm setting up a dedicated TV/Multimedia computer and transferring all of my tapes to digital. No more stacks of VCR tapes cluttering up my living room! No more endless searching for a blank spot to record a show! Everything will be digital, Random Access, and instantly available on one PC!

5.0 out of 5 stars ATI Does It Again, November 29, 2003

This review is from: ATI Radeon(TM) All-In-Wonder® 9600 Pro 128MB AGP Video Card (100714003) (Personal Computers)

I purchased this card to replace an old Rage 128 AIW that had given me 4+ years of trouble free use. I wanted the new card for it's new Rage Theater 200 capture chip and Direct X9 capabilities. My choices were the 9600 Pro AIW or the 9800 Pro AIW. I went with the 9600 after reading some great reviews and that I'm not a gaming fanatic and don't need the extra gaming horsepower of the 9800 (the 9600 does gaming very well IMHO). Also, the 9600 runs much cooler, doesn't require a separate power connector like the 9800 does and includes an FM tuner. This was an easy install and runs great. Captures from my DirecTV Tivo look fantastic. This is an excellent card for the money.

I am a power user with hardware experience and I have tried everything i can think of to make card work, ATI tries to do it all, and in doing so came up with nothing at all. I mean nothing; i.e. the basic functionality of simply watchting tv and scheduled recording (the reason i bought it) works less than 5 minutes before crashing and bringing the whole computer with it. It looks like i will have to buy snap stream so that i can use the functionality that i though i had paid for. AVOID ATI THEY DONT FINISH THEIR PRODUCTS BEFORE PUTTING INTO MARKET
