Ex Toms Hardware Guide Defector

[srg]

Hi

For years I used toms hardware guide as my number 1 place for hardware information. Also, with things like the video showing Athlons burning up, they do seem to have some industry cout of their own. Also their forums were helpful, if a bit highly charged at times.

These days, I think their quite biased, especially in their CPU reviews, whick only seem to look at the top end chips rather than balanced view of the whole maket. The whole site just isn't what it used to be.

Also, the forums, especially the CPU and Graphics card forums are riddled with fanboys and flame wars that can get quite personal. A lot of this is because the forums are unmoderated so anything goes. There are flame wars that are made by people do don't know jack about the subect or dig up comments from else where. It's a haven for trollers!

Anyway, I have tried x-bit labs and they seen very good. How do they compair to Anendtech?

Thanks

How can you be an ex-defector unless you have gone back already? 😛

Welcome to our humble home. May you forever be trapped here!

:| What's wrong with silk PJ's? I don't smoke mind you, but the PJ's feel unbelievably good against my skin 🙂:sun:

I have heard weird things about Tom, he once punched a hole in a cow just to see who was coming up the road

Just as long as he's not a defacator.

After Tom's forums you may find this one to be slow and boring.
