I am going to buy an ATi All-In Wonder 9800 tomorrow, and I wanted to know your opinions on it. I am getting it because it is on sale, and I am getting a 9800 card with a little extra power for the same price as a 9800 Pro. Any bad things about it? Does it run games at lower/higher frames than it's regular counter-part? Comments, please.

i dont know but if it was the same price, id get the 9800 pro.

I imagine it'll be the same performance as a regular 9800 unless it explicitly says 9800 Pro AIW or 9800XT AIW. Still, nice card and the sale only makes it better.

Same price as a 9800 pro? An AIW 9800 for only $200? That's not bad, where'd you get it from?

Comp USA. And, why would I get the 9800 Pro over the AIW if it was the same price?

9800 Pro performance is a bit better. Think I'd rather have the AIW though.

Yeah the 9800 isn't that much slower, it's a very good card and those AIW features are amazing. Watch TV on your comp, record your shows, On Demand, it's like having digital cable and TIVO.

I forgot to mention, this is a AIW 9800 PRO. Here are some benchmarks of a AIW 9800 Pro compared to a regular.

Oh so it's the pro version of the AIW. Even better.
