AT'S RTPE....how flawed is it really?

[herbiehancock]

So I try to use the RTPE on Anandtech......but it seems quite flawed in that few products that are out there are really listed or websites that have product don't make it onto the engine.

Take the ATI Radeon X1950 Pro pci-e video card. Under the category view, click on the radeon x1950 pro link and the only card that shows is Asus's version and only at two websites.

Now, I know there are at least a half-dozen versions of that card, Sapphire, HIS, ATI, Asus to mention a few, and lots of websites offer them.....

So how do vendors get listed....or how much does it cost to be listed and crawled on the RTPE, because to only list one ATI X1950 Pro pci-e video card is jsut silly and stupid.

My guess is it isn't updated much anymore, even though it is supposed to be automatic. Kristopher Kubricki I believe developed it, but he's off running DT now and it may not be his baby anymore. But who knows

Doesn't matter so much to me, I don't search for computer part pricing much at all anymore.
