All of my older AGP cards were ATI Radeon allinone. I currently run an
ATI X1950XT (VIVO) in my machine out in the shop. It works quite well.
Not all allinone have tuners though, nor does the one in the shop.
However it does have a PCI t uner card for OTA and satellite input.

Yes and I will never put anything with the letters ATI in one of my
computers. I spent more time trying to get it to work than using it.

I've had two ATI cards in PCs, and friends have and still have many,
without any issues except for drivers when a particular chip series is
released. Once the drivers are stable, they are fine.

The AIWs are great cards. Anyone that can read, understand and follow the
instructions at ati.com/install should love it.

Like all software some anomalies exist. MMC was developed to cover different
devices and even using 2 devices at the same time so different versions work
better for some than others. The biggest problem is that once the install
goes bad cleaning is needed. Instructions for this are at the above link
too.

Questions about the card would probably get better answers in
alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati.

They may work fine under some/all Windows OS's, but they aren't well
supported under Linux.

I'm running an X1950XT under LINUX (Fedora 7 64 bit) and it seems to
be working well *although* FEDORA 7 only recognizes it as an ATI card
and not the X1950XT. OTOH the 8800GTS 640 in this one was recognized
as an 8800GTS. I don't have any problems with it recognizing the older
AGP cards.

With XP Pro the ATI X1950XT is slightly faster in this machine (Athlon
FX62) than the 8800GTS 640. In my Athlon 64 X2 6000 the 8800 GTS is
slightly faster. Don't know why the difference.

Doubt they're past SD tuners / capture cards. Or maybe not. Some
have pretty fancy SD options with a cable feed. Pricey, too, I'd
suspect if they exist.
