ATI STUNNED THE WORLD when it announced the Radeon 9700 Pro graphics chip back in July. Since then, multimedia enthusiasts have been clamoring for an All-In-Wonder version of this revolutionary new graphics product. At the Radeon 9700 Pro launch event, ATI showed off the power and flexibility of the Radeon 9700 Pro's pixel shaders by applying Photoshop-like filter effects to live video streams, and that only heightened the desire for an AIW 9700 Pro.

Today, ATI unveils the All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro, adding to the AIW's impressive lineage in the process. The All-In-Wonder dates all the way back to the Rage II, so there's a lot of history there. The experience gained over years of making AIW products has no doubt contributed to the success of ATI's current cards, which have the most complete AV/PVR feature set in consumer graphics.

Someone at ATI must be really enthusiastic about the AIW concept, because they keep on pushing the limits of just how much audio, video, and TV input/output gear they can pack into a graphics product. But a revolutionary GPU like the Radeon 9700 Pro calls for something above and beyond ATI's current AIW offerings; it deserves something special. How has ATI tweaked its current AIW offering to better complement and enhance the Radeon 9700 GPU? Let's find out.
