I asked this question a couple days ago but everyone ignored the thread... =\

BTW I've heard that the AIW 8500 doesn't have as much 3D performance as the 8500...will the AIW 9700 be the same way or will it have the same performance as the normal 9700?

Thanks.

Did anyone get one of these yet? I am thinking about picking one up before Christmas for a present...just gotta convince my parents....well, I would like some input on this, so any personal experience with one of these would be appreciated...

whats the difference between ATi 9700 pro?

AIW = All in Wonder...it comes with a TV tuner / component out cable etc etc. You can check it out as the main spotlight link on ATI's website.

The AIW R8500 is clocked exactly the same as the regular Radeon 8500 and hence performs identically.
It's the AIW R8500DV that is clocked quite a bit lower, and in the slowest of the R8500 boards available.... besides Crucial's joke of a board that is.
The AIW R9700 is clocked at the same speed as the reg. R9700.

all fine and dandy, but no one has said when it ships!
