Joe...

How did the "All In Wonder" card work for you ??

I tried it and it failed miserably, just wasen't fast enought for the "semi-pro" stuff my outfit is workin' with.

Of course, the the video editing software may be at fault here too, There is a lot of vairablies involved here.

Bill, the ATI "All In Wonder" card got rather low ratings compared to the ATI "Turbo-Rage" in most of the tech-pubs. I have the 16-meg "Turbo Rage" and its performs rather nicely, DVD and all. (Doesn't require an accelerator card either, to run the latest games.) The "TR" rated faster in most all applications. I suspect they use a slower VRAM chip in the "AIW", to keep costs down.

Also, (and a lot of people don't know this) a 32-meg video card is NO faster than a 16-meg video card of the same make, and model. The 32-meg card merely allows higher resolutions (which my "Guru" says are useless in a home computer, unless you're doing CAD, or photo-retouching on a big monitor!). <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Donny Hinson on 05 April 2001 at 02:53 PM.]</p></FONT>

You can close this posting. I got my new computer and it'll take me a while to figure all the new stuff.
Thanks all
