For hardware, software and other electronics reviews, news and prices which sites do you use most?

- New Egg = www.newegg.com/Index.aspx
- Tiger Direct = www.tigerdirect.com/
- Static Ice = www.staticice.com/.au/index.html
- PC Authority = www.pcauthority.com.au/index.aspx
- PC Perspective = www.pcper.com/index.php
- PC World = www.pcworld.com/
- Hot Hardware = www.hothardware.com/.default.aspx
- Tom's Hardware = www.tomshardware.com/us
- Sharky Extreme = www.sharkyextreme.com/
- Anand Tech = www.anandtech.com/default.aspx

1. Which one of these sites do you think has the most accurate reviews and the lastest news?

Anandtech and/or PC Perspective.

Thanks everyone... All your posts help alot

None of them. I use HardOCP.Necrosis

Damn, worst choice of them all.

I swear by anandtech.

Anandtech, HardOCP, FiringSquad, Sharkyextreme, PC Stats, X-Bit Labs, guru3d...

I find reviews done at the place you order from like newegg humorous, you have no idea if it was written by the manufacturer, newegg edits them, they aren't based on any scientific testing, they are subject to the reviewer's mood and worse their inability to build a computer or in other terms user error.

[QUOTE="Necrosis"]None of them. I use HardOCP.Wesker776

Damn, worst choice of them all.

[QUOTE="Necrosis"]None of them. I use HardOCP.Indestructible2

Damn, worst choice of them all.

I swear by anandtech.

Anything that isn't done by Kyle can be trusted, I reckon. Reviews done by Kyle on subjects other than graphics should probably cross referenced with another review.

I wonder what LordEC thinks...

OK, I have a confession to make. I brought up HardOCP just to start a debate. To be completely honest this time around, I don't use any websites for hardware reviews or articles. I just don't like the way any of them are laid out. I read actual print magazines: Maximum PC, Computer Power User, and Smart Computing. Yes, I know that the websites are a little more current, but I really like the print mags better.

I like Anandtech, xbitlabs, gurud3D, Techreport and several others. Tomshwardware is fine, there is nothing wrong with their benchmarks. The only problem is with their charts which are useless since they are updated so infrequently, but the charts are only a small percentage of the site, and out of those its really the VGA charts that are unreliable. CPU charts aren't driver dependant so they hold plenty of water.

Again, its not because THW is unprofessional or biased, its just the VGA charts are useless because of drivers.

The best option is to have more than 1 hardware site to refer to. Have 3 or 4 reliable websites and see if the data correlates with eachother. If one of the sites has data that sticks out like a sore thumb, then they obviously had a few issues with the test system or something more sinister could be at hand.

I even question anandtech sometimes if their results differ from other hardware sites.

So yeah, always take advice from more than one source--I guess you could use that advice for anything in life really...

Newegg's reviews in particular are especially worthless.Makari

yup.

The most you usually get is " This cpu sucks. I try to fit in board and it doesnt go in. Intel very bad company, this cpu sucks 0/5"

Anandtech is reallty the only place even remotely credible and even they have been doing sloppy reviews recently. Like not seeing obvious cpu bottlenecks when testing videocards etc etc.
