Can anyone tell me the big advantage to having an All in Wonder? I have the Retail ATI Radeon 7500 64MB AGP card and was looking at the OEM AIW 7500 64MB card. What I am I gaining besides TV capability?

You lose: 1 Display connector, core clockspead, memory clockspeed.
You Gain: 1 nice remote, s-video and composite input, anolog TV Tuner, SPDIF output.

The big advantage is a variety of video inputs of course. The AIW's also tend to hold their value longer also.

Mainly the video capture abilities of the AIW cards make them so attractive (and tv in). If you don't plan on using these features, then the regular 7500 is a better card to get.

Exactly what I needed to hear. I have an audigy card that I use for Digital Video (firewire port) so I guess the Retail 7500 is just fine for my needs. Thanks!
