You should have basic functionality, but a 333
won't move the data back and
forth to a Radeon fast enough to allow much more than 50% of its normal
speed, ie worthless for video capture, games, etc. unless lots of features
are turned off. Given the $200+ street price of the all in wonder Radeon
(there is a $30 rebate at "featured" retailers right now though) you really
should put it into a decent newer motherboard. I would NOT buy a hot video
card now, then upgrade the motherboard etc. later, just a waste of money
given the new models of hot video cards will be out in the fall. Most
likely you would get more performance out of a $200 motherboard/cpu upgrade
and a cheap $75 Radeon LE.
Hmmm, I'd think it could pump out data fast enough to display on the TV
which is what I'm wanting it to do. I wish I could find out more about the
"Book PC's" as they look perfect for what I've in mind since they've
built
in TV out, but I suspect that MAME will not like them. Besides the ATI
All-in-Wonder Radeon card has some really cool Video Recorder features,
that apparently allow it to function like a TiVo.
