Beware of buggy OEM ATI Radeon 8500 LE cards, 3DWin.net warns. The bug is pretty damn serious - after a few days of use, the hard drive crashes - and "often the registry and system-files are affected".

3DWin places the blame firmly at the doors of the anonymous cardmaker (or cardmakers - it's not clear from the report). But it adds: "You can't blame ATI who they're selling their chips, but they need to give their chips into good hands. Because if their image is ruined it will be hard for ATI to raise their quality level."
