Convergence...
Anyone that?s been around PC?s has
been hearing this word for quite some time.
Since the first CD-Quality audio was
available on the PC, industry pundits have been
foretelling of the day when your PC will be the
centerpiece of the living room, replacing your
current televisions, computers and stereos with
an all-in-one solution.
They have visions of a "catch all'
of home entertainment, where Dad can watch the
latest DVD and the kids can get involved in a
multiplayer "frag-fest" just before
dinner?Well they probably never envisioned a
"frag-fest" but you get the idea.
ATI
has helped make that vision a reality.
The ATI All-In-Wonder Pro 128 has all the
2D and video capabilities needed for those
chores, while combining a 3D feature set capable
of running today?s most demanding games.
The
board fits into a standard AGP slot, and despite
all its integrated features is no bigger than a
standard length card.

Inside
the box, there is also a very strong software
bundle. You?ll
find Ulead Videostudio 4.0 and Merlin VR
included for your development needs, as well as
full versions of Heavy Gear 2 and Need For
Speed: High Stakes, to kill some of that leisure
time.
On
the back of the card, you have connections for
Cable-TV In, A/V In (which connects to a ?breakout
box? or pod that houses standard composite A/V
inputs as well as an S-Video input), A/V out and
a standard monitor connection.
