Care to be a little more specific of what model your referring to?
Their are already two different 64MB All In Wonder Radeon variants, that have been available for quite some time now.

Oops.. SOrry.. Its AIW Radeon 7500. I tried checking all online retailer but all was on back order. I just bought my AIW Radeon 32MB but found out that its coming out soon on for the same price that I paid for so I was thinking of returning it and get the AIW Radeon 7500

I already have one. Bought it two weeks ago at Best Buy for $199. Probably be cheaper on the web if you want to wait.

I don't care actually if the web is cheaper cos its not any much cheaper. I went to BestBuy.com, the online store but can't find it. They don't have it! They only have the ATI Radeon 7500 selling for $149.

It's been available for a couple weeks now. Try ordering online, or go into a local computer store and ask about them ordering it infor you if you prefer not to purchase online.

 

[chaddeus]

Okay. I'll try to go this Friday or Saturday to BestBuy and see whether its available. I doubt fry's sells it right cos I went there last week but can't find it.

I have not seen these on any online stores at all. Pricewatch, pricegrabber, etc.. come up with nothing.

I saw one of these 2 weeks ago at bestbuy, and they have it advertised in their flyer this week, but good luck actually finding one there now. I didn't it buy it because I'm waiting for better prices (they wanted $199).

I'm surprised they're not showing up anywhere yet. ATI did a big media blitz a couple weeks ago and said they were shipping them. You would think that at least some online stores would be taking orders by now. Even the ATI "shop online" still shows it as not in stock.

I guess I was lucky they had them the day I was actually looking for a regular 7500. I figure for an extra $50, why not.
So far so good as far as the AIW 7500 is concerned. I am more of a casual, last year's games gamer (Half-life, Elite Forces, No one lives forever etc.).
The TV drivers would not even run on Win98. I decided to upgrade to XP as opposed to re-installing 98. The drivers are good for the most part in XP. I do have an occasional problem with the TV program. Every once in a while, when I start it Windows crashes, causing a automatic reboot. I have not figured out the sequence of events that causes this.
The 2D is excellent and the game performance is good enough for me. I am still figuring out all the things you can do with this baby. Right now I mostly watch TV and use the pause live TV function. I have not tried the video capture yet.

I bought it yesterday from Bestbuy. The software ATI TV 7.5 is better than the previous 7.1. Performance wise, its quiet okay to me. Had not tried the controller as I don't have enough USB port on my PC somaybe getting those 7 Port USB Hub.
