Actually I (As the poster of the news item) have been reading Toms Hardware since fall 1998 if I remember correctly. I bought my first x86 PC back then, A PII 400 with a millennium G200 and such. I didn't have a clue about what AGP 2x, BX, north gate and such were back then and toms hardware became a big help to bring me up to date on PC hardware. I finished my university studies that year, and me neglecting PC hardware as a rabid Amiga fan had its downsides when I got a job as a software engineer

So Toms hardware was a big help to me atleast

(The big downside being that I now have to help all and everyone with their PC's. *sigh* Most PC owners don't seem to be able to do anything themselves when something goes wrong.)
