Scroll down to 9800 PRO. It seems for $364 I can get the 9800 Pro but
for $15 I can get the 9800 AIW, which gives me a TV tuner and capture
card. That doesn't seem right. Is the 9800 in the AIW a lesser 9800
than the one in the Pro?

I'm sorry, you've lost me. For $15? Did you leave a word or digit out?

Sounds like the 9800 AIW is the non pro version of the card which
would explain the price difference. I would go for it anyway. The
non pro version of the card still beats the 9700 pro and has updated
DX 9 architecture. Go for it.

Did you check the link he provided? There is no All-in-wonder other
than the pro listed on that site.

Sorry, try this

http://tinyurl.com/qn0s

this only shows the 9800 PRO


summary:

AIW 9800 BULK $361
9800 RETAIL $364
AIW 9800 RETAIL $379

ALL of these have the PRO designation. Interestingly, the retail
version is non refundable. If the difference between retail and bulk
is a nice box and additional software, I'd go with the bulk for the
refund possibility. If the AIW is really same card as the 9800, seems
like a no brainer to get the AIW.

Gotcha--$15 difference you meant.

Whether you go with the AIW or the regular really depends on whether
you'd rather have dual-monitor support or TV-in and a tuner.
