What are some good computer websites?

[Slade54]

What are some good computer websites that do good product reviews, and benchmarkings?(I HATE websites that try and use "3D" graphs, those are impossible to read very well)

And good opinions and stuffs

I alrdy go to www.tomshardware.com, www.overclockers.com, and jsut started looking at www.xbitlabs.com, and of course www.sysopt.com!!

Yea, ive heard ppl dont like toms, but why?

They have good reviews, good benchmarks, and stay on top of the news.

Ive heard other ppl say they are biased, but i dont believe that.
Sure some of the writers may have favorites, but as a whole, i believe they are fair.

Hasn't been updated lately, but I believe many of the links are still useful for most folks.

www.hackers.com (http://www.hackers.com)
sysopt and HBS are the only 2 forums i ever visit anymore. If you guys can't get it done, it's not possible. Don't be fooled by the name of the site, you all have been fooled by the media into believing hackers are bad things. Only Crackers, Script Kiddies and Lamers are.

Ive heard other ppl say they are biased, but i dont believe that.

The problem is ythe writers oftwn contradict themselves - they'll say like P4 bury's thhe XP+ and then as soon as a new XP comes out will state that XP has always been the better

Also their "AMD Fan boy" articles didnt go down too well

[Slade54]

When they say that P4s bury the Athlon, and then then Athlon crushes the P4, its in those particular tests it just looked at

Like the P4 always is on top in so-and-so test, and the athlon trumps the P4 in this test like usual.

They arent contradicting itself

And are you basing the whole site on one writer?

Thats like not likeing a particular writing in the newspaper, and not reading the WHOLE paper because of that one writer.

Just skip over his work, and youll be fine.

I dont read toms because its not to my taste - im saying the main reason people seem to criticise the articles is because the writers contradict themselves (from what lkittle ive read) rather than being BIASED whicgh is popular opinon

:rolleyes:
