Hello, Michael I have the AIW Pro 128. First, let me say that I have more experience with this card in Windows. ATIs drivers and software don't seem to work very well under Windows, especially the capture stuff. Using other (3rd party) software provides better results. I have had considerable trouble configuring XFree86-4.2.0 to properly recognize and utilize the card, but I am a newbie to UNIX and XFree86. Finally I have it working (X86- 4.2/FreeBSD 4.5release), but haven't come to the point where I'm ready to try capture. You say you're interested in a radeon card, though, which uses a different driver than the 128 Pro. I have never used the radeon series. Please let me know if you do buy one, and if so, how it works out for you.
