Mikhailtech has put up an OCSystem Enhanced Radeon 8500 64mb review
By default the retail Radeon 8500 (non-LE) is clocked at 275mhz core and 275mhz DDR (effectively 550mhz) memory and comes equipped with 64mb of 3.6ns Hynix memory. LE versions can come in a variety of flavors: 250/250, 230/230, 230/250, and possibly more. 1000/3.6 = 278mhz, so 275mhz DDR is well within spec. We should at least be able to take it up another 3mhz, if not it's a faulty card. Its theoretical fill rate is one Gigapixel (250mhz x 4 pipelines) and two Gigatexels (250mhz x 4 x 2 units/pipeline), which is a lot more impressive than the original Radeon and is higher spec'd than a Geforce3. The front of OCSystem's Enhanced Radeon 8500 is the reference design, straight from ATI. To my knowledge no one has tampered with re-arranging the layout. The only real difference is the cooling implementation in the form of tin-coated copper ramsinks (not Tweakmonster's) and a Crystal Orb attached with epoxy (or some other strong adhesive). Everything else on the board is identical to what you'd find on any Radeon.

VIA Hardware has posted a review on the DFI NB76-EA motherboard, based on Intel's i845G Chipset
When it came to offering a mainstream chipset that included integrated graphics, Intel was again left behind by VIA and SiS. VIA had the P4M266 chipset, based off of the well performing P4X266, and SiS had its 650 chipset. Today we are going to take a look at Intel's newest chipset, the i845G, and see just what it has to offer. Also I would like to thank DFI for getting us their NB76-EA which is based on the i845G, and we will also be taking a look at this board as well
