ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 32MB DDR

The Idea

Now that we have taken a look at what the All-in-Wonder Radeon can do, let's take a look at a test system that ATI gave us to display the power of the All-in-Wonder Radeon.

As you can see, ATI's image of a living room entertainment center is a black computer case. The computer comes with one feature that makes living room use almost impossible to live without: a wireless keyboard and mouse, meaning that TV-on-Demand can be controlled just as easily from you couch as from your desk.

When ATI gave us this system, they wanted to put it to special use by allowing the computer to be sold on an eBay auction ending August 29th 2000. All the money raised will be given to charity, as our Chief Editor Anand Shimpi describes best:

As I'm sure many of you have heard by now, Jeremy Allford a long time member of our little community here has been suffering from a GleoBlastoma tumor that has already occupied approximately 25% of his brain. I've known Jeremy for over 3 years now, he took me to my first E3 and was the personality that drove AGN3D to become one of the most popular news sites at the peak of their existence.

Unfortunately a while ago, Jeremy was given the horrible news that he was suffering from cancer. The tumor has plagued his life for around a year now, and not only has it put himself through probably the worst times I can even begin to imagine, but his family including his two wonderful children (one 8 and one 2.5 years old) through a tremendous amount of pain, both emotionally and financially.

Tomorrow morning, at 3AM EST, Matthew will be posting his review of the ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon card that ATI supplied us with. They also supplied us with a full system (minus monitor) that features the card as well, they told us that they'd be selling the system and we could donate the money to any cause we saw fit.

Jeremy immediately came to mind, he has been a long time friend and he is one of the founders of the community you see today. Three years ago on-line sites didn't have the power they do today, but it is because of people like Jeremy that the community has gained so much power in the eyes of the big manufacturers out there. Needless to say, I felt that Jeremy would be the most deserving of the proceeds of this auction so I immediately sent my suggestion off to ATI. They seemed to like the idea, and I had the opportunity of chatting with Alex Ross of Sharky Extreme and he shared the same passion I felt to help Jeremy out, so it was decided that we would donate all the proceeds to help our the Allford family.

ATI will be selling the system that is currently in our lab on eBay alongside a similarly equipped system from Tom's Hardware, Sharky Extreme and Gamer's Depot.

I highly encourage you all to dive deep into your hearts and feel for Jeremy and his family, we often take what we have for granted, but this is a chance to give back to someone in need. The item number on eBay is 414239920, or you can just click here to bid on the system. I don't usually ask much from you all, but this is the one exception. I've been watching the community grow for the past 3.5 years now, and if anything, I know that our readers are some of the most giving, generous and caring individuals out there...it's time to show Jeremy and his family exactly how much we support him.

I think Anand said it best. As always, our hopes and prayers are with Jeremy and all others suffering from such a devastating disease.

With that said, let's go to the benchmarks and investigate how the All-in-Wonder Radeon performs, a card that also models the performance of all 32MB DDR Radeon cards as well.
