Advertising to these tech heads must be a hard game when they benchmark specs and review for each other so rigorously and without bias. The power of the message is so often clouded by the spec.

Discussion on these forums really does come down to the best product at the best price over ‘this is always the best brand to buy’ as views change so quickly there with the specs. There are those who can’t keep up so keep brand loyalty, but it only takes a minute to sign up and post a question. I guess it’s quite worrying that I’d build a system purely on their reccomendations, but you can guarantee that a thread you start in the right place will get you a far better answer than any you’d think up even if you dedicated a day to it – or a month in my case.
