Strengths: Everything in one package.
Weakness: Learning curve is about a week for all the features.
I have only had this card for four days and i am satisfied. Though there are a lot of things that i am still finding out about the features. I comes with this purple input device, that i learned could be hooked to my Nintendo Gamecube or any other gaming console and played on the computer. People who walk through my dorm room are really impressed. The graphics are a huge upgrade from the ATI 7000...
Strengths: Lots of bundled extras (remote, Pinnacle editing, GuidePlus, etc.)
Weakness: Had some problems watching TV initially
Got GP faults using TV program (MMC 8.6 software which came with card) under W2K. Installed new instance of XP and still had them. Tried upgrading to 8.7 at ATI's web site and still had them. Finally had to uninstall MMC 8.6 completely and then reinstall 8.7 from ATI's site and it worked fine.
Strengths: Great graphics card, stable drivers for XP users. Bundled extras like the remote wonder and the free game.
Weakness: Multimedia performance has been a disapointment
Max Payne 2 looks just like the back of the game box on this thing. That is definately a good sign. No slowdowns, no glithces, even with the AA on. Drivers appear stable with XP, although I do recommmend going directly online for them; use the included CD as a coaster..I learned the hard way(they crippled my cd-rom drivers) But alas, I didnt get this card for games, I got it for the multimedia...
Strengths: Outstanding card for its price.
Weakness: none.
For about half the price of a Radeon 9800XT or 9800 AIW, you can purchase a very capable AGP card / TV tuner in the AIW 9600 pro. Also, unlike some of the GeForce cards, this one needs a single AGP slot. I installed it in a shuttle box without along with a PCI audio card without any space constraint problems. The included software and remote wonder are also outstanding.
Strengths: easy install
Weakness: None
I just installed and it went in very smoothly with no glitches. I look forward to trying the PVR capability but hav enot had a chance. TV output worked fine and no glitches there either. I would recommend it although I can't speak to the gamiing capability of it. There have been other good reviews of it as well.
Strengths: It is a great improvement over the AIW 7500 it replaced. New Remlote II is unbelievable and recording video is much better. And allocating 256mb of RAM in the bios makes it even greater.
Weakness: Fan is noisy. May add VGA cooler to replace fan.
Any one who does photo or video editing should consider this board, especially as it has dropped in price this week. Great TV watching while working allows me to watch Hockey Game while writing or doing file maintenance by removing all the junk or fil;e duplicates that build up. Next step is to try photo restoration in PhotoShop while watching TV. I have never succeeded on other video cards.
Strengths: - The All in wonder features - Installation was very easy - Price - Performance of card
Weakness: None
I enjoy the AIW features: Watch TV on your PC, Record shows, Pause live TV, Dual monitor support,thruview window etc. Installation was a breeze. I did the installation in the incorrect order from the installation instructions (which it specifically told you not to) but had no problems. Game performance is excellent. I had no problem running any of the games I play at the moment. This includes...
Strengths: Great upgrades to my resolution! I love working @ 1600 x 1200! :)
Weakness: well I can't figure out how to make it mute when I record but not kill the sound on the tv program... well still working that out, but still awesome.
I swear this thing has everything! Ability to connect 2 monitors (or a monitor and a tv, etc etc), awesome remote with the ability to upgrade to the next version fo the remote but I am thinking of holding off on the complimentary upgrade cause it would cost $15 ;) hehehe But having a remote is nite and DVDs have never looked so nice! :) WOO! I love this product! :)
Strengths: Lots of ability packed into a single card
Weakness: none
I've had the card for 3 days and it has far exceeded my expectations. The software bundle works great, with its Time-shifting and DVD functions topping the list. Card installed on an XP machine with no problem, just be sure to follow the installation instructions. Overall a great card for the price.

ATI RADEON 9600 PRO Graphics Card
Strengths: Outstanding graphics capabilities, a ton of features, good documentation, free Half-Life 2
Weakness: Drivers that came with the board were a little out of date.
The card installed easily into my homemade computer (epox 8rda3+, Athlon xp2500+, OCZ Performance 512mb ddr pc3200 ram). Huge improvement over the last video card that I had. Very pleased with the quality of the graphics in my games. I shouldn't have to upgrade it again for quite some time.
