Peter, I stopped reading THG when he added all those other guys as contributors. His articles/reviews are nonsense. Anand from Anandtech is the best guy out there by far especially when he's the one doing the reviews. Constantine

This was the software used to create the cult game Diabolo 2, for example."... tomshardware.com Nowhere is there mention that Lightwave 7b was hand optimised by Intel for SSE2 extremetech.com Extremetech at least had the decency to state what, where, why and how.
