There's a new review up on the PC Mag website:

zdnet.com

The best news here is that the Banshee chip did very well in all the tests. This is very good news, PC Mag is a mainstream magazine that many people use to decide what to buy for their computers.

I actually enjoyed reading about their testing procedures. It seems like Zif-Davis has heard many of the complaints that the internet community (such as Tomshardware.com) has made about their benchmarking software. They actually caught a few drivers that were "cheating" and they're going to do a comparison of retail clock speeds / specs compared to the test cards they were sent.
