In this section you will find links to sites which are recommended as worth checking into about any of your computer component needs, though sites will obviously contain lots of other info. Usually the sites here will primarily talk about hardware for computers, such as Processors, Video Cards, Sound Cards, Motherboards etc, and have various sections such as previews, reviews, tests, comparisons, and so forth. If you just want to check the latest news, releases and price changes of components, or if you range from beginner to expert in regard to technology, and want to learn more, these sites are ideal for you. Thanks to Dave (Shreeve, Kaytan, Pooh!) for helping put this page together by supplying the majority of sites, and the continual help with all things technical :)

Sound

 

3D Sound Surge { Recommended }One of the best websites on all things sound and audio, whether to do with speakers, cards or latest breakthroughs in sound development. This should meet all needs.

 

Video

 

NVNews by NVidiaNVNews is dedicated to all the latest that NVidia has to offer, particularly news relating to the GeForce 2/3 range of chipset cards.

 

 

3D ChipsetThe 3D Chipset site contains a collection of reviews and info, mostly on hardware and Video Cards, and often sent in or directly linked to those on some of the major hardware sites.

 

 

3DGPUMainly targetted towards Video Cards, especially NVidia's range, there is also plenty of info to be found on most of the performance related areas of computers. Also latest news and downloads of patches, updates etc.

 

General Hardware & Gaming

 

Blue's News { Recommended }An excellent site to find out all the latest on hardware and games, updated daily, very in-depth and very user friendly. Dave and I would highly recommend this site to anyone who needs to know what the word on the street is.

 

Firing SquadPlenty of gaming reviews and previews to keep you busy for a long time. There are reviews of Processors and Video Cards at Firing Squad, but the word is gaming.

 

M3DZoneStrongly aimed towards latest drivers, patches and updates, M3DZone also caters for some reviews and previews on hardware and software, though it isn't one of the mainstream sites.

 

Tom's Hardware { Recommended }A site laid out in a way that makes it easy to find what you want, as the name implies it concentrates on just about all aspects of computer hardware, in particular Mainboards (Motherboards), CPU's (Processors), Graphics and Video, Display and Monitors, Storage (Hard Drives), and occasionally delving into other peripherals and components. Lots of info here.. one of better sites out there on computer hardware.

 

Hardware Central { Recommended }Lots of guides, walkthroughs, previews/reviews, news, prices etc.. Be sure to keep and eye on the date of each article to make sure you're reading up to date info. An excellent site on all things hardware.

 

Sharky Extreme { Recommended }One of my favourites, the sister site to Hardware Central, so the setup is quite similar.

 

Would you like to have a favourite site of yours added here, or believe one of the site assessments should be modified? Then please let me know :) thanks.
