X800Xt All-in Wonder or X800 Pro

I'm trying to buy a new video card, Pci-E, and I'm wondering what the better choice would be to go with an X800 XT All-in wonder or an X800 Pro? I can't seem to find anything written about the all-in-wonder but the X800 pro seems to be significantly slower then the XT's. Thanks in advance

I'd wait a bit for the prices to drop on ALL of the PCI-E cards. When they do, x800 XT (PE) or 6800U would be your best options.

And, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all of the All-in-Wonder cards significantly slower than their non AIW counterparts?

The AIW 9800 Pro is same core and memory speed as the 9800 Pro.
It has been said that the AIW does not o/c as well as non-AIW cards.

The X800XT AIW is same speed as non-AIW XT.

The AIW 8500 was the last one that was clocked at SE speed. Since then they are equal to non-versions.

i dont thenk you dont need aiw unless you're a media junkie, non-aiw's are cheaper anyway

Well on Mwave, I can get the aiw for $500, not bad at all if you ask me. Does anyone know if you can play XBox through your monitor, (i wanna play it on my samsung lcd) w/the aiw?? that would close the deal with me. Thanks for replying guys

The AIW 8500 was the last one that was clocked at SE speed. Since then they are equal to non-versions.

The AIW 8500 was clocked the same as a retail 8500, the 8500dv was downclocked. The AIW 9600pro is actually clocked higher than retail 9600pro.

I'd go for the AIW version myself, for ~ $50 it adds considerable value over the regular retail X800XT. AIW now has dual head (DVI-I and VGA) support and has the nicest looking PCB and card layout I've ever seen in a video card. The new breakout boxes are pretty handy also.
