My opinion is that if ATI would bring such a card on the market the
PCI-E products would have an unexpected competitor...and at the end
of the day they push forward only PCI-E products...the AGP powered
cards on X1000 family are brought on the market by subcontractors of
ATI and they are using the less capable GPU`s (binned ones) making
an extra money on dumped ones.

I can't believe moose boy isn't trolling this site, but indeed it
seems the masses have spoken. ATI writes bad drivers. I wish they
didn't buy they do. The all in wonder boards are especially bad
about upgrading as you have to unistal your previous driver and
install about 5 different driver files in a specific order, some
requiring reboots others not. If you don't install the files in the
right order, reboot when you shouldn't, or don't when you should the
drivers will hose your computer. Great stuff. Like the other
poster I have friends with moderate computer skills that have tried
AIW cards and have had nightmare experiences.

I think the responses are pretty clear - ATI's DRIVERS SUCK!

If you are telling the truth you should go buy a crapload of lottery
tickets because you are the world's luckiest man. I've built
hundreds of computers over the years and have never seen one of
these run stably (I did swear them off after the nightmare that was
the AIW8500DV so it is possible they've gotten better but I'm still
never trying to install one again). Just to clarify I've never
bought one myself, I've only try to fix friends computers who bought
these garbage cards.

Actually you're wrong. The TV-Wonder boards are pretty bad, but
they pale in comparison to installing an all-in-blunder board. My
dad bought 3 various models of these over the last 5 years and none
of them has ever worked. A week worth of failed installs to get the
world's most unstable computer. I can hardly believe they are still
making and people are still buying this garbage.

I don't know about the All in Wonder boards, but TRY INSTALLING AN
ATI TV-WONDER standalone board. WORST INSTALL EVER!

I've found the Catalyst 5.9 drivers to be remarkably trouble-free.

I'm still running an AGP AIW X800XT (which can be had for under
USD$300 these days), and it gets me around 5700 as a 3DMark score
with a 2.8 P4. When it won't do the latest games 3D smoothly, that's
when I'll change motherboards and upgrade the vid card, but for now
I'm happy. I just like having the TV tuner built in, even though my
monitor is also a TV itself.

What I'm wondering is if there will be a All In Wonder X1600 product
coming up soon. While the X1800 is a top of the line product, it's
far to expensive for me. The 1600 on the other hand isn't.
Too bad the 1600 only has a 128 bit interface. Why would they do
that? It $$#&&&%# the card. The power would be much greater if they
would have made it 256. Perhaps the AIW 1600 if it ever came out
would have that. That would be sweet.

My cable signal isn't good at all, that's why I've got DirecTV. :D
I've mentioned this numerous times in the past but forgot to do that
for this article, my bad. And no, you won't be able to use all the
AIW features with digital cable.
As far all the people who've had problems with AIW drivers. Sorry,
but I just can't replicate them. I've setup 3 AIW systems in the
past year, one for a friend, one for my gf, and one for my dad. None
of them have ever had any problems with their AIW cards...
