Does anyone know when AIW is going to be out? Guesses?
I am trying to decide between AIW Radeon and AIW 8500DV. Consider that I get them around $135 and $315 and want to do the following, is it worth getting the 8500DV?
-watch tv while I use the computer
-take advantage of the tivo feature
-use it with XP without a problem
-input the video from my non-digital camcorder and save it in digital format
-output to TV screen and digital LCD at the same time
I know that ATI offers crappy drivers, so I am a little worried about getting the AIW Radeon now because they might just give up on making their driver work well with windows XP. I would hate to see that I couldn¡¦t take full advantage of my video card or running into major problems a year or two down the road only because I was trying to save some money now.
What do you guys think?
