Usually with ATI the hardware has been ok, it's just the software is suck, like dwchang said. I had a Xpert98(Rage Pro Turbo). Crappiest card ever! 2D was ok, but 3D just stank. It didn't even support Alpha Blending properly x_X.

I had that EXACT same card. 3D acceleration was non-existant. I was immensly happy when I got my Voodoo 3 3000 a year later. (Although now I have a GF3 ti500, oc'ed to GF4 ti4400 right now

)
I use a ATI TV Wonder VE. It's cheap, but it works. It doesn't do very high res, but at the res it runs at, it is quite nice. It also doesn't fight my video card either. (It is funny, though, if my computer crashes while watching TV on it, it will still keep playing. It's pretty freaky)
I wouldn't recommend the card for anything high-quality or any serious project though.
