Tom's not bad... I use him every now and then to see some reviews, quick ones only. I don't fully trust him...

People claim Tom is on Intel's payroll, which is odd, considering three years ago he was one of the athlon's biggest supporters, to the point where he was a little unfair to the P4.

Tom has a history of making wild claims (and ignoring dipsuting evidence), and post photoshops saying they are real. He also comes across as very biased in some of his reviews.
THe only thing I like about his site are the shootouts.

You talking about Tom's hardware guide or hardware bribe?

You shouldn't trust everything you read on his website, he has sometimes weird conclusions like the test on watercooling (putting zip ties to secure the barbs :D :D)
