The general end user is an idiot. Most (if not all) review sites are compilations of end users results. This said, most (if not all) review sites are idiotic.
Don't trust them, don't even read them. If someone had a small problem with their motherbaord because they set the FSB to 266 DDR instead of 133 DDR and it blew up their CPU, they'll rant and rave about it.
133DDR = 266MHz, and Abit and MSI both require you to know this little fact. If they ask for a FSB frequency, you say 133 and it automagically makes it DDR.
You say 266 and it makes it DDR, you just overclocked your CPU's FSB to 533MHz and *POOF*. Some people don't knwo this. And review sites get flooded.
The ever popular toms hardware, for instance, is garbage... |
