Before I bought this card, I was worried that there would be compatibility issue since I saw some comments like that on the Web. However, my experience tells an opposite story. I had a Nvidia Geforce2 Ultra, but it constantly gave me problems such as unable to softly reboot the machine and had to hit reset button everytime. In the end, the Nvidia driver completely messed up Windows2000 and I had to reinstall the system. So, I got a Nvidia Geforce4 MX 440, the same thing happened all over again. With this ATI All-in-Wonder card, however, everything works like a charm. I can use every feature of the card out of the box, just make sure you download and install the latest drivers from ATI Web site. The image quality of this card is noticebly better than my previous Nvidia cards, much better, I would say. It's great to watch DVD with this card. 3D performance is...Read more 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful: A must for the college dorm, By James (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews This review is from: ATI Technologies All-in-Wonder Radeon 7500 Graphics Card (Personal Computers) I got this card because the AIW 8500 won the tv capture round-up at AnandTech.com, and since the major difference is just in memory and GPU power, I opted for this card and save $100. I'm hoping to upgrade to the AIW 9700 if it comes out, but let me explain why I think this card is a must for the college dorm room. Setup was quick (they have a very comprehensive manual). As for drivers, I always suggest going to the manufacturers site and getting the latest drivers. First of all, two really cool features about TV watching are 1.) You can make the TV your wallpaper background. Completely unobtrusive, and you can simply minimize your windows if you wanna watch it. 2.) I'm using Windows XP and there is a transparency option. It's pretty neat since you can watch TV and surf the web without the TV window hogging any space. The transparency works very well, in my opinion, and everything is pretty clear. TV viewing is very fast. Quick surfers...Read more 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful:  There are better options, By This review is from: ATI Technologies All-in-Wonder Radeon 7500 Graphics Card (Personal Computers) I bought this card to start creating SVCD's (Super Video Discs - basically CD's you can play in your DVD Player) of my favorite show. I didn't have any problems getting this card to work right out of the box, but when I started watching/recording - I found a lot of strange static on the channel I wanted to record. After replacing all the cables I was sure it must be the card... as the same cable, plugged into an actuall television had none of this static. I managed to return the card for a new one, but had the same problem with the second card.I later purchased a Leadtek Winfast 2000xp tuner card - and it has great sound and picture - but lacks the software features of the ATI. So, for anyone interested in recording and making SVCDs or VCDs of their shows, I offer the following comparison and pro/con list. Picture quality and sound: The Leadtek was far better, showing a crisp picture, and with none of the sound problems of the ATI. Software: ATI is the clear winner here...Read more |
