Check newegg for a $68 OEM.

Please do some research before crapping. This is for an All In Wonder Radeon 7500. Not Radeon 7500. The AIW 7500 sells for 156 at newegg

$68 is not for an AIW card!

 

[Otaking]

This IS a good deal. Unfortunately, it's no $112 that Amazon offered for 5 minutes, but good deal nonetheless. I wonder if this is offered at B&M as well?

(I'm considering an AIW 8500 instead, but at this price...man.)

u guys make me spend too much money.

$138 shipped is a good deal for a new card but you may also want to consider a refurbed 8500DV AIW from newegg for $165 shipped. Mine came complete with all cables, remote and even the dvi-vga adapter. The 7500 is a great card if you don't game much but is starting to seem pretty old for current games.

you can get the 8500dv retail box for around $200 now, this includes one firewire slot.

firewire cards run from $30 - $60 so if you factor that in, the 7500 would end up coming close to the 8500dv price

if not interested in firewire, then this is a great deal. although you will also have to pay tax in addition to shipping

 

[bradolson]

Actually, firewire cards are only $15-25 and that is usually 3 ports, so it's not that big of an addition to the cost.

$15-$25 is without shipping/tax
i just purchased a couple cards from newegg for $30 including shipping, these have 3 ports and a shared internal port

name brand cards run up to $60...actually there is also some dual usb2.0/firewire cards out for $70-$100

i actually have not seen one for $15, if you coudl put a link up i would love to see it and maybe buy it

Just got mine and it seems to kick ash!! I haven't even touch the surface of all it can do but the tivo funtion seems cool.

 

[wjsulliv]

Edited my above post with appologies for missing the AIW notation in the title...

And adding a bump to say I'm sorry.

 

[tj21]

8500dv includes 2 firewire ports. One on the card and one on the breakout box.

Good price, cheapest I see @pricewatch for these is $158 retail shipped. Does anyone know if these ATI AIW cards are the ONLY manufacturer that makes a video card with TV tuner, video in, video out and capture? I use the ATI AIW 128 Pro now. I need to get one of these 7500's maybe for my 'pending' P4 setup, unless Geforce or some other has an equivalent.

Check out this link for the Nvidia "equivalent": Visiontek Xtasy Everything

It's a Geforce2 MX400 64mb will All-in-Wonder type capabilities for $95 + shipping.

AIW 7500 is a GREAT card! One touch recording from free Gemstar TV listing (this only works with basic cable channels or OTA broadcast).

Would love to see someone come up with a DSS compatible PCI card to eliminate the box- THAT would be a major breakthrough!

DAMMIT HERE WE GO AGAIN!! This damn place for the 4th time recently & 2nd today, DELETED my damn post after I replied!! Now I have to type the whole damn thing over again. :| Going to have to start copy and pasting the text into notepad before clicking 'reply'.

Bagger, thanks, I saw that earlier when I went to pricewatch and didn't look it at it very well. I saw "PCI" in the text at your link and didn't see "AGP" at the top (I thought it was PCI, I need AGP). So, anyone, why is that card (more info here ) so much cheaper than the ATI AIW Radeon 7500? Which chipset is better, 7500 or Geforce MX400?
Thanks.

 

[badluck]

Can anybody else comment on the Visiontek Xtasy Everything? I might pick one up today....

Check out this less then stellar review.

The features on the VisionTek are unbelievable, appear to have as much as the ATI card in this thread. Must be a catch as to why it's so much cheaper. Oh too bad, I see the visiontek doesn't have "TV Magazine" & "hot words", I use those a lot on my ATI AIW 128 Pro. Here's the info page for the AIW Radeon 7500.

 

[computer]

VisionTek doesn't even give specs on the damn card, no resolution, refresh, color depth, etc.

Thanks for that review.....now does anyone know of a link for a review of the AIW Radeon 7500? At that other review link I see the AIW Radeon 8500, Radeon 7500, but no AIW Radeon 7500. There is a marked difference between the 8500 and the AIW 8500, so same is probably true for AIW 7500 Vs 7500. Same chipset, I wonder why the performance is so much worse for the AIW versions? I see they have at that review link the "AIW Radeon", and if that IS the AIW Radeon 7500, doesn't look so hot, not much better than the VisionTek. 8500 really smokes 'em.

I'm confused.......is it MX400 or MX4000? I see the chip called both names. Or is it two different chipsets? (I'm not up on chipsets......too busy

Here is the review on the AIW Radeon 7500.

From the looks of it, it's quite a bit better than the VisionTek, I guess maybe worth the extra $. Is the "AIW 7500" the same as the "AIW Radeon 7500"? That review is very confusing on that aspect.
