I agree that tom's hardware has been useful to a noob like me because they have so many comparisons between mulitple components like the large video card and motherboard round ups they have done. I hope they still do the same sort of stuff.

THG has its good points...That review of with 65 CPU's was good.
It also has some very informative tables like this table
Its from this page at THG....
It tells us that.....
In the year 2003. Intel CPU clock speeds only advanced 4.5 %
In year 2002, it was 53%
In year 2001 it was 33%
IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS IT was only 11% !!!..
No wonder why games are all CPU limited these days ..!!!!!
The latest pentium 4 has 125 million transistors, the Athlon 64 has 105,
4 years ago, the PIII had 29 million.....Looks like moore's law is still holding true.....
but it also like we are really starting to see the limits of superscalar CPU architecture.
