The ATI All-In-Wonder Rage 128 comes in 16MB and 32MB varieties according to ATI's web site. The model we have has a product number of 1026561900. Unfortunately ATI's site doesn't have any information tied to this product number, but a number of other sites seem to indicate that this is indeed the card. Like the All-In-Wonder 7500 this card has a tuner, Audio/Visual In/Out (not SVideo, but looks like it), and differs in that it uses a Dsub vga, rather than a DVI connector. The Rage 128 has CD in near the top of the board and also has a Line out connection. Again, the AV connector requires a special cable if you want to do component out.
Using a couple of hardware testing programs we determined that our card is of the 32MB variety. We're not sure if this means that all Rage 128's with the product ID of 1026561900 are 32MB or not. While the capacitors on this card look like they're good quality, they're smaller than the ones we found on the Wonder 7500.
Again, like it's 7500 brother, the Rage 128 doesn't seem to be well supported among the Linux community as a good card for T.V. tuning. The PVR Hardware database only shows a couple of people using the card, one as a graphics card, and the other simply to record video (though the rest of this individual's hardware is low end, even by our standards - Celeron 400). We advise against this card if you're considering building a Myth TV box.
