I've been waiting for this card for some time now. I e-mailed ATI in December, asking when it would be available. They responded in late January. Well I sent another e-mail and this is the response I got a couple days ago:
"The PCI version of the All in Wonder Radeon, is scheduled to begin shipping in North America at the end of February 2001.
*NOTE: The PCI version of the All-in-Wonder RADEON will use SDR memory and not DDR memory as previously advised. Also this product will not support DVI output therefore only VGA displays will be supported.
Should you have any further questions, Please feel free to contact us.

Well this is the last day of February, so checking ATI's site I see it listed as shipping in Mar. '01 (next month).
At Onvia, they have it listed "in stock", 136 of them, for $208, along with another one that's not in stock. I assume this was supposed to be the retail edition not in stock and the plain box that's in stock, this would explain the differences in price. Well, upon further investigation I find that the model number matches the Radeon MAC plain box edition, nothing close to the A-I-W Radeon PCI.
Also, no other place has this "in stock", leading me to further believe that it's the MAC Radeon.
Should I order this card and hope to get the one advertised, or when I get the wrong card, I guess I could call them up, tell them it's not the one advertised and hope they send the correct one. But they could just tell me to send it back and give me credit. This would suck, because I would be out of the money for the time being.
Posting this here will probably solve my problem though, I'm sure Onvia will figure out their mistake through this...
Anyone want to take the chance, go ahead.
