Title: Can PPL post which ATI Video Card they Own
Post by: Zipper Doyle on July 01, 2002, 10:10:11 am

Hey,

Looked through various message boards and have found that a lot of people prefer using the ATI video cards for outputting to a TV through S-Video.  Can you please post the following so I can get a good feel of which one to purchase.

1)  Which Model (ex.  ATI Radeon 8500 64mb)
2)  Price range you payed for it.
3)  How do you like it?

Thanks

1) ATI Radeon All-in-Wonder 32MB
2) $39.00  ;) (Get to know the PC dept. mgr at your local Best Buy)
3) It's a great card for MAME, and video recording (TIVO-esque).  It can handle most current PC games well, but I expect that will change soon (DOOM 3 maybe?)

Hi,

I use a fairly old ATI All-in-Wonder 8mb PCI card.  But, I don't output to a TV, I decided to use a 20" monitor I found on ebay for $150.  I'm still using the AiW because everything appears perfectly on the screen in mame and nesticle, and I can use the coax input to double the arcade machine as a tv when i'm not playing.  I paid probably over a hundred dollars for the card back when it first came out.  Now you can get it for peanuts.
