5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the upgrade..., May 18, 2004

This review is from: ATI Technologies ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 XT 128 MB AGP Graphics Card (100-714120) (Personal Computers)

Nice vcard... has many features some you may never use some you will use quite often. Comes with decent video software also. This card is somewhat better in terms of features & power compared to the AIW 9600 PRO, and can still keep up with new DirectX 9.0b games like FarCry or Halo! Buy it if your in need of an upgrade... nice looking card and installation isn't too difficult either. Be sure to delete all your old vcard drivers & associated software otherwise you will encounter problems, which I did at first having a Sapphire Radeon 9000 PRO previously installed & not uninstalling the drivers assuming ATI drivers will work for all regardless! For more installation, accessaries, and using all the capability of this card read the detailed manual on the included ATI driver & software CD. Very good card indeed...

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect card for all my needs!, February 28, 2005

This review is from: ATI Technologies ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 XT 128 MB AGP Graphics Card (100-714120) (Personal Computers)

1st off, I use this card in my HP Pavilion and well.. its GREAT I love that the program comes with the Guide Plus channel line up. Recording is easy to use and setup.

Although you WILL need to goto ati.com and download the newest drivers, but that isnt too much a issue.

Install is simple and this card has support for all your needs. Good 3d graphics speed, great playback settings and so. Plus I LOVE the remote! I mean whew.. cant watch a movie or divx without it!

Basically the XT is always better cause of the overclocking speed. I bought this instead of the 9800 AiW and well.. hasnt let me down yet!

Also the TV inputs for AV and S Video are great too! I hook up my Xbox, PS2 or Cube to this and it looks GREAT on the LCD monitor. Meaning you could now use your PC for EVERYTHING!

Also it has a FM tuner in there which was also a plus, so now you can record your radio station to your PC.

Also I did something the other day. I was at a hotel and was watching a movie there. We couldnt finish it cause we wanted to go swimming before the pool closed. So I used my Zodiac (Palm based PDA) and VNC (www.tightvnc.com) to logon to my PC at home. Had my PDA load the Guideplus and click the movie we were watching, taped it to record the rest of the movie so we wouldnt miss it. This way when we got home, we could just finish it. =)

Also have used this card to stream real audio content to my cell phone. (Nokia 3650 or any other s60 phone)

Basically broadcasting the live tv stream to any real audio player. =) Very nice card indeed and a good price for a card that will play it all!

This review is from: ATI Technologies ALL-IN-WONDER 9600 XT 128 MB AGP Graphics Card (100-714120) (Personal Computers)

This ATI card is the current generation of ATI All-in-Wonder, or at least it was when I got it. But it is still pretty amazing. It allows you to utilize several inputs-you can use the included software to display it in a separate window or even as your wallpaper - believe me, I was playing FFX-2 on my wallpaper. It has a built in TV tuner that lets you plug in your cable or entertainment center receiver. I mentioned the companion software-I'm usually not an advocate of companion software, but this one's got some value. Not only does the All-in-Wonder really do *everything*, but the performance is uncanny. Warning: high framerates. There is only one problem that I've had. This particular All-in-Wonder comes with an odd square-like connection on the back (other All-in-Wonders I've seen do not, such as the 9800) and the screws in mine broke the first day; pretty flimsy.
