multimedia features. You can play games, watch TV or videos,
listen to audio CDs, explore the Internet, and work in
Windows®98, Windows®Millennium Edition, and Windows®
2000 as never before.
ALL-IN-WONDER’s advanced 3D acceleration gives you
detailed color graphics and 3D features like multi-texturing,
alpha blending, and fog effects. ALL-IN-WONDER also
provides powerful 2D graphics features through the Display
Properties pages:

ATI’s RADEON and RAGE 128 PRO accelerator chips provide

run with fluid motion and in brilliant color.
ALL-IN-WONDER is a part of ATI’s legendary series of
graphics accelerators. Your existing 2D games and applications
will snap to life with 128-bit acceleration and faster, more
vibrant colors.
