I's like to know if this is any better than a regualr 9800 pro? Or
worse.. I see online it says:
Grab the remote and surf an unprecedented set of TV, DVD, audio and video
features. With 128MB DDR memory and an 8-pixel pipeline, ALL-IN-WONDER®
9800 PRO delivers increased rendering power for faster, cinematic quality
graphics. Filled with customizable home entertainment features,
ALL-IN-WONDER® 9800 PRO is the engine behind cutting-edge gaming,
broadcast and PC entertainment.

Do these features add to the card's desireablitly, or not?

Thanks.. (looking for card - either 6600GT or 9800 Pro)

The All-In-Wonder isn't "better", just "different". You basically trade an
analog video output for a TV tuner and video-in.

of course it adds to the features, basically you add the REMOTE, TV,
video in, and audio and video inputs and outputs, as well as capture
ability.
So if your doing any digital video capture or editing, you would benefit
from this card.

The AIW cards always cost more. Better to get an add-in board like ATi's TV
Wonder or LeadTek WinfastTV. This way, you don't have to keep paying for
capture/tuner features every time you upgrade your video card.

Too bloody right. I've got a 9800SE AIW. I can record from my camcorder,
hook up my Playstation 2 to it and use it as a regular TV.

However you can also do that with a $30 add-in board.

Except that you won't get a remote with the $30.00 add on card and it'll eat
up an extra PCI slot if things are tight in your case. That said, I use a
$30.00 add on card.
