Tom's Hardware reviews *POLL*

[DeMeo]

I used to go there a while back, but found they were starting to get rather biased and I found in general that the reviews were not very informative at all. Too many missing pieces of information or the testing was skewed towrads a particluar brand. I think they started taking bribes from vendors (much like PC MAG & Co.) - whoever buys the most advertising or gives teh editors the best toys always gets the best review.
I have not even been on that site in over a year now.

I stopped trusting any of the TomsH articles when:

One week they revealed how MSI placed an undocumented "dynamic overclock" into their i865 P4 motherboard to fraudulently increase their benchmark scores. There was no way to disable this hidden overclocking, and it would run a CPU out of spec giving the user no warning or control.

A few weeks later, the TomsH site was full of MSI advertising and they were giving the same motherboard their "Editor's Choice" award, over motherboards from Abit, Asus, etc. [ including the Abit IS-7 recommended by AnandTech and most other sites ]

Yea I heard about that fiasco, do you think it's possible tom didn't know about it?

What's the name of the site? TOM's Hardware Guide. He's responsible for what goes on there.
