ATI's All-In-Wonder 2006

Anonymous writes "AnandTech's Josh Venning takes a first look at ATI's brand new All-In-Wonder 2006 PCIe video card. Due to hit retail stores sometime this week, the A-I-W 2006 is based on the X1300 series of cards, making it aimed at more budget-based users. AnandTech also compared the A-I-W 2006 to the X1300 Pro to get an idea of where this version of the X1300 line of cards stands."

    That would be PCIe, ie. PCI Express.

    I would like you to note that AGP is being phased OUT. PCI-Express is being used. not the same as PCI.

    PCI != PCIe (PCI Express). AGP is currently obsolete. In fact, it's impossible to find any current-generation high end cards for it. It's also pretty hard to find any current motherboards with AGP slots.

    Not "PCI", but "PCIe" aka PCI-Express -- big difference.

    "AGP, much as it's been a faithful companion for many a year, is a dead end. While SLI systems may not outperform their older siblings, one has to take into account that PCI-Express, SATA and DDR2 were not chosen as future PC standards for their immediate advantages, but for their open-ended architecture, which opens up avenues of development that will eventually lead to much better performance than AGP/EIDE systems."
