Installation
Installation of the drivers and utilities went flawlessly. Unfortunately I have no way of testing the TV tuner at this point for lack of signal, neither do I have a digital speaker system to test the capabilities of the SPDIF output from DVD, nor a camcorder to evaluate the video capturing quality. DVD quality was outstanding.
Demos
First, we ran a variety of demos to evaluate compatibility issues with certain software. nVidia's Toy soldiers would not run correctly, Grass exited with the message that an nVidia card is required. Please keep in mind that the nVidia demos are written specifically for the GeForce and will not run on most other cards.
Third party demos like Sunflowers Wonder were running flawlessly (click the thumbnail for a larger screenshot and download location)
