ByteSector has put a nice
review together on the ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder 9800 Pro. ATI has been an industry leader in
computer graphics for many years now. They currently lead the market with their
top of the line X800 graphics card and have just released their All-in-Wonder
version of the X800, but who has an extra $600 sitting around to spend on the
top of the line graphics card? The solution, jump down one level to the 9800 Pro
VPU and grab an All-in-Wonder graphics card for less than $400! The Radeon 9800
VPU has many of ATI's latest,
non-HD, features available at your finger tips.

Radeon All-in-Wonder 9800 Pro Review
The ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder 9800 Pro graphics card has really shown is brawn here today and I am sure that it will continue to in the up and coming future with game releases such as Half Life 2 and Battlefield 2. The features packed into the small box more than make up for the ever decreasing price tag of $300. With the introduction of the All-in-Wonder X800XT, I expect the price to continue to fall for the next few months. The level of integration for home entertainment purposes is unprecedented and I am sure that we will see little need in the future for much more. The one thing I found lacking was an FM tuner for this card. Its counterpart, the AIW 9600 Pro has an FM tuner, so I was hoping for something similar here, no such luck. The graphics performance of this card is something worth looking at. We saw that it has enough power to take on some of the best video cards and games on the market
today. I am completely positive that it will continue to perform above expectations for another 3-6 months before it is completely replaced by something better.
