9800 Pro - Vanilla vs All-In-Wonder
Tweek wrote in message
... I had to exchange my 9800 pro beause the cooling fan died. They didn't have another one so I paid a small difference for an All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro. Using the comparison tool on ATI's site, I see the only difference is the vanilla 9800 Pro has DDR1 memory while the AIW has DDR2. I'm wondering, is there any kind of performance advantadge to the newer memory? TIA -- Tweek Damn, one annoying thing I just noticed is that there's no Hydravision support for this card. I use that feature sometimes for video editing, Photoshop, etc... damnit!

The real difference is that with the AIW you get a TV tuner and video-in but lose the VGA port.

The following link states that it will work with all Radeon desktop products. http://www.ati.com/products/hydravision/products.html HTH, Anthony
