Known around the world the past two years as the Swiss-Army Knife of video cards, the ATi "All-In-Wonder Pro" complete video encoding/decoding solution has earned a reputation for solid performance and high quality video manipulation capabilities.



Even with just 8MB of on card video ram, the All-In-Wonder Pro still occupies the AGP or PCI slot of many user's PCs, a testament to the product's effectiveness.

After a long development period, ATi is ready to release the successor to the All-In-Wonder Pro, complete with upgrades and improvements that place the card among today's elite 2D/3D accelerators.

Our full review of ATi's new "All-In-Wonder 128" follows, enjoy reading about this impressive testament to PC technology.

Powered by ATi's newest 2D/3D accelerator chip, the Rage 128GL, the All-In-Wonder 128 supports the same 3D specifications that the successful Rage Fury card does. What differs the two products is the All-In-Wonder's Video IN and OUT features. By placing a co-axial cable connector/tuner on the card itself, along with an S-Video Out port, the All-In-Wonder 128 makes its intentions known to the user right from the get go. Add in a cable connected "break out box" which holds both RCA and S-Video IN ports, and you have one of the most well rounded video decoding and encoding products available for purchase in any price range.

By allowing a user to capture and manipulate images and video from any possible source, including a DVD-ROM drive, the All-In-Wonder 128 acts as a user's private television production studio. Everything from digital cameras to Laser Disc players are fair game, even the signals being broadcast from your cable provider are no sweat and accounted for by the All-In-Wonder 128 (via the aforementioned co-ax IN port).

It all adds up to great fun and a high degree of flexibility as the newest product from ATi holds your attention captive from the start and doesn't let go willingly…
