And will their new owners turn Toms Hardware into a decent review site again.

Well, some people claim that Tom's Hardware sold out years ago.

I can't even count how many times I've been to Tom's Hardware and vowed never to return, only to be driven back out of boredom. I just didn't realize other people thought it sucked too.

The only time I ever went to Tom's was if no one else had a review, and then I only went there for the pictures.

I thought they had already been sold to Intel about 10 years ago.

I for one think this is horrific news. TH was a comedy goldmine.

what are some good websites then?
i've been reading, SPCR (of course...), xbit labs, inquirer, anandtech, and tom's hardware for years now... tom's has sucked for years.. i don't even know why i check it every day... anandtech seems like a marketing website for OCZ.
i still trust xbit most of the time, and SPCR. any other good sites i should read?
i did a search of the forums but i couldn't find anything...

I've been reading the THG forums for quite some time and never have I seen so much discontent with the users regarding the quality of the articles! I hope things turn out better...some articles where really bad...

One of my favorite sites is guru3d.com. While it may be a little light on the reviews, it's a great information portal on new hardware. It also has most of the newer drivers for most popular hardware along with some tweaking software. SharkyExtreme used to be good, but I hardly go there anymore. GDHardware.com used to be good before they went over to bootdaily.com. Now they're just a bunch of Ageia fanboys...
AVSForum.com, MissingRemote.com, HTPCNews.com, and TheGreenButton.com are all great for HTPC users (particularly MCE users).

Aside from SPCR I frequent extremetech, anandtech, hexus, hardOCP, and bit-tech. Good variety of stuff between them.

Never read Tom's much. Mostly on SPCR, and on Gathering of Tweakers (they're Dutch, so I can well immagine the name says a whole lot of nothing to most of you
)
Tweakers isn't very specialized and usually doesn't have such deep reviews, but they cover just about anything and have something of an online 'paper' running with usually like 10-20 articles a day, so I think it's great.
Besides SPCR and Tweakers I barely have any sites I really visit often, if I want to read about a certain product, I just google and read as much reviews as possible, to get the most complete picture.
