ATI 9800 vs All-In-Wonder

[NightEye]

I was wondering if there is any difference between the ATI 9800 Pro and the ATI 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder. Basically I'm asking if there is a compromise in graphics performance (game particularly) between the All-In-Wonder and the Pro since the All-In-Wonder has the TV-Tuner on it.

Well I'm not sure with the 9800 pro but when Maximum PC reviewed the 9700 PRO there was no difference between reg. PRO and AIW. So I'm guessing that there won't be a difference with the 9800 series.

Hey, I was wondering the same thing.

1) Was there a 256MB to 128MB memory difference between the 9700's?

2) Will the difference only show in 'heavy' games, like Half-Life 2 and Doom III? 2b) Is there even a realistic chance of playing Doom III 'rightly' with the 128 version, or even the 256?

If the difference between the 128 AIW and the 256 were to be whether or not Doom III ran 'well', it my sway my choice of which to buy.

Appreciate help, thanks!
