ATi All-In-Wonder Radeon 9000

The All-In Wonder series of the Radeon include a TV-decoder and TV-input functions. These cards are based around the Radeon 9000 Pro chip so that they offer some 3D-performance as well. Of course these aren't high-end since nVidia had it's GeForce 4 Ti-series already running and the ATi Radeon 9700 Pro was just around the corner.

Speaking of time-frames: my card was made in the 35th week of 2002. I can find reviews made in February 2003 and May 2003. I also find references of an introduction date of March 31, 2003. I wonder about the time-gap between my card and the reviews on-line. Did ATi use older PCB's or stock-pile these cards before release? Or were the cards really available in Q3 of 2002?

Despite the name 9000 Pro this card is not DirectX 9.0 compatible since it's really based on the technology of the Radeon 8500.
