The Card
ATI Tuner
Theatre 200 Chip
Rear Backplate
With DVI, Analog and ATI I/O Socket
I/O Connector
Plugs into the I/O socket, comes with video in, video out, tv and fm inputs
Video In/Out Dongle
Shaped like dominoes, can be stacked on top of each other as shown in pic
Splitter and FM Antenna
Remote Wonder II and USB Receiver
Cooling - The Fan
The Stock cooler is pretty decent. Comes with a copper base and a decent sized fan thats temperature controlled. Runs at full speed when you first turn on the computer and then throttles down to a level thats inaudible. Even at load it runs at a medium speed that cant be heard unless you leave the side panel open and even then its barely loud
The Fins and Air Vents
Cooling Contd
The Bad part,it isnt very clear in the pic but the cooler doesnt come into contact with the ram leaving a tiny air gap which will trap in the hot air. definitely not good especially for someone wanting to oc
Memory
256mb of Samsung 1.6ns Chips, capable of a theoretical 600Mhz odd
Power
Powered by a Floppy connector rather than a molex as seen on most cards these days
Temperature Monitoring
Most XT cards by ATI come with a overclocking utility and temperature monitoring which was sadly lacking since ATI decided to omit it from their AIW series of cards. However the latest version of ATI Tool does show the temps for the card.
Idle : around 40°C
Load: around 70-75°C
Pretty Decent on stock cooling
Tentative Benchmarks
Current Rig Status:
A64 3000+ @ 2200Mhz
1GB PDP Memory @ 204Mhz
ATI X800 XT (500/500) on Catalyst 4.12
3D Mark 03
3D Mark 05
Doom 3 Time Demo
Settings: High Quality, No AA
Screen : 1024 * 768 (Sorry thats the highest my pathetic LG lets me go)
First run got me 77fps, tried a 2nd time got a better score since the level would have been cached
Overclocking
Mild Overclock to 530 core and 525 memory
Bit odd scores , got better results with my system on usual settings at 2.4 gigs with memory 1:1 and catalyt 5.6. Testing something else so couldnt run at those settings. Heres what i got a few days back with the same core 530Mhz and GMem at 525Mhz
