do you work for ATI or was that someone else?

I'm thinking I do at this point for all the free marketing I do for them . But no, I work for a different company with no specific interest in ATI.

I cannot do without the AIW cards, as I do a large amount of video importing/encoding, which was the main reason for the entire upgrade, actually. I never use the TV feature at all, so that's not a factor.

Ahh, ok. Mine was always used for my media system, never did much importing.

When I have more money, I think I'll spring for a better card, but I'd like more info on those you mentioned. Any links for me?

Let me try to dig some up when I get done with this task.
