What are you talking about?

I think Tomshardware is mostly up to date on the hardware. They should include the older hardware because despite certain misconceptions, gamers don't upgrade their video cards that often. And so having the older cards there provides a comparison for the new video card. Same goes for the CPU charts. That AMD CPU list is pretty up to date except for the exclusion of the X2 6400+ which is in limited numbers.

Also, the HD 2900XT is not a low-end card. Neither is the x1950GT, x1950Pro, and x1950XT considered a "low-end" card. All four cards mentioned above are on the VGA list. As for low-end CPUs, thats all AMD mostly have these days.

As for the overclocking bit, it's been shown that Intel's new line of CPUs are fierce overclockers, hence why Intel overclocking is so well featured.
 
I gave up using Toms site a long time ago when they succumbed to greed.
I occasionally have a look but I dont even like the layout of the site now!
 
Eh, its best to not rely on one single site... search around, there are tons of review sites.
 
I dont think THG is as bad as some people say but like Enginurd said, its best to search around and compare what other sites/reviewers are saying as well.
 
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, overclocking was a new thing and Dr Tom had some good insight.
Things changed and the dark side took hold.
While in search of the truth and the meaning of the Force, I found [H] and havent had to endure the dark side since :)

I'm not flaming but I do think Tom sold out and Karma bites back :)

ps I read 5 zillion other sites but I only post here.
 
THG has a relationship with facts and reality.

It's called a Restraining Order.

I stopped reading them years ago when "Doctor" Tom declared 'authoritatively' that you could not ever possibly overclock a Cyrix processor. He never replied to my challenge to factually refute the Cyrix 6x86's and mII's I had massively overclocked (>30%) on VXPro and 430HX boards just for laughs. He never replied, of course.
