Thanks for help.

Well, I would suggest you need to learn how to trust first then find the
web site later. Or I don't think there are many people creating web site
trying to fool anyone.

I don't read their site regularly, but they do seem to put some
effort into their evaluations.

I really like X-Bit. They're irreverant, don't seem to rely on sponsorship*
and very thorough.

I remember a while back trying to find reviews on a certain CPU cooler and
most of the 'review sites' gave it a good review but, if you looked closely
enough, there was almost always a "thanks to Thermaltake for supplying the
test unit" type of message. How fair is a site like that going to be? At
least those crazy Russians at X-Bit seem to pay for their own equipment.
(They test to destruction often enough, they'd pretty much have to.)

Cheers,

Your conclusion is not necessarily sound. Those review sites often send
out mailings with verbiage similar to: "We will be conducting evaluation
tests on ______ products. To have your product included, send it to..."
If they don't send one, their product won't get evaluated, that's all.
Purchasing a unit for the tests only stops the product manufacturer from
hand-picking a particularly cherry unit for the evaluation, thus making
the evaluation less credible, IMO.
