ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 PCI Express Review @ ViperLair

Iria · Dec 26, 2005, 12:55 AM

Last month, ATI unveiled their All-In-Wonder X1800 XL, a high-end part with the price tag to match. For the most part, the big chunk of the $400 pie is due to the VPU, thus targeting the AIW X1800 XL towards gaming enthusiasts with an interest in multimedia.

Now, just over a month later, ATI is releasing the ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 PCI Express, a sub-$200 product based on the X1300 VPU (non-Pro), which differs from the All-In-Wonder 2006 released earlier this year as that was based on the Radeon 9600, as well as being AGP based. As you may expect, the AIW 2006 PCI Express will not have the raw horsepower of the AIW X1800, but it is significantly cheaper and features the same multimedia features as its more expensive brother.
