Which CPU or Graphics Card is better for gaming? For Rendering? For Graphic Design? Find out at today’s featured InfoTech Access site: Tom’s Hardware. I’ve used Tom’s site for years. You can compare processors and video cards side-by-side on a number of different performance criteria. There are tutorials and how-to’s on everything from building your own computer to upgrading, modding, water cooling, and overclocking.

Launched in 1996 by Tom Pabst, Tom’s Hardware focuses on technology and is loaded with in-depth articles, reviews, and comparisons of PC hardware. Because they have been at it so long, the site is a great resource for historical info. I’m always comparing older CPU’s to the latest and greatest to show clients what they can expect from upgrades. The site features coverage on CPUs, motherboards, RAM, graphics and displays, storage, and computer peripherals and includes videos, a forum, and a blog. Tom’s Hardware has established itself as an accurate and trusted resource for IT information and gets my vote every time!
