All-In-Wonder 9600 Pro vorgestellt

Und da ist sie: Die Mainstream all-inclusive Grafikkarte aus dem kanadischem Hause ATi. Die AIW 9600 Pro gesellt sich mit ihrer sehr reichlichen Ausstattung zu den schon erhältlichen All-In-Wonder Grafikkarten vom Typ 9700 Pro und 9800 Pro.

Und genau das leistet auch die "kleine" All-In-Wonder 9600 Pro. Basierend auf der 9600 Pro ist die Grafikkarte zusätzlich mit umfassenden TV- und Videofunktionen ausgestattet.
