Bringing up the rear is the new member to the All in Wonder family. With its standard green PCB based design, all aesthetics are disregarded to keep the cost to a minimum. Most people who will be slipping this card into their computer is guaranteed not to have a windowed case anyway.

PRODUCT VALUE FOR THE MONEY

Now a lot of people are saying that laying down US$149 for even a cheaper version of the all-in-wonder videocard is a little tough. But, when you add everything that comes with the package, it's actually quite a steal.

Take these prices for example (USD):

Matchware Mediator 7: $69
Pinnacle Studio 8: $99
GemStar's GuidePlus+: $249 Lifetime Subscription (which is included with this card).

Add those up: ~US$417

Now you see, for US$149 bucks, you get US$417 worth of bundle value without even taking the actual videocard into consideration. Can you say bargain?! Wow, any doubts based on pricing just went out the window.....
