I would imagine the software package that comes with that is pretty good (video editing, etc)?

Yeah, it seems that it comes with an input receiver (a digital VCR recorder), video conferencing and gaming voice communication, and a bunch of video editing software that Asus decided to throw in. Really, from what I hear, I see that it is one nice card to have, and remember also that it comes with a free voucher for HL2 (I believe they still do that).
With ATI AIWs, if ATI should continune its series, I believe it will prosper and become an even greater entity in the multimedia gamer area. It is a great function to have that much power in your PC - something I regret getting now. If I could, I would trade in the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro I have right now for an ATI AIW series equivelant...something I'm having trouble getting
