Little quote from Anandtech about Tomshardware review

[Ant]

I've been invited down to their offices to see a demo which unfortunately I've not been able to make but I've heard nothing about review boards. They have to focus on maximum exposure so target the big sites (apart from HardOCP ) so us little guys don't get a look in until much later I guess.

I think you don't only deserve a card for testing but one for your personal pleasure, too, after all you've done for them!

That's just f'ing unbeleivable m8

To think a load of beta testers hang round here with their Parhelia and YOUR site doesn't get one - FFS.

Sorry for my temper but this is pure bull.

Strange...

I thought that the MURC would be the first to get it. I was sure as hell that you were a BB on P. You'd think that Matrox knows they'll get a fair shake here at the MURC. We are critical but fair.

Did you ask for a card for review?

it is a shame

It sure does take the piss out of MURC when Ant doesn't get one of the first batch of cards to review. This is the main matrox site on the net and i would of thought matrox would be decent enough to give Ant one but what a bunch of knobs for not giving him one, i would of thought matrox appreciated what ant has done for matrox as i believe there is no other matrox fan site on the net

Ant have you asked Matrox PR? That is unbelievable....

I would guess there is about 5-15 matrox fansites on the internet, just check the "links" section on the mainpage.
there are probably some additional sites that isn´t mentioned on the mainpage too.

I asked some time back and they said they would let me know when they came available. To be fair they have got to concentrate on maximising exposure and the MURC doesn't rank up there with the Anands and Toms of this world. We are just a lil old user group

[az]

Hey, but we DO have range!

MURC is linked from almost every major computer enthusiast site, and recent BB info threads were linked ALL around the net!

I think MURC is more popular and influential than you give it credit for Ant. You should've gotten a board....

whoops i never knew there were others as well, but still Ant should of got one just like others did

[thop]

like i already said: MURC is THE matroxsite on the net. and like az said it was linked all over the net (even by slashdot) and us MURCers spread out like bees and praise matrox on forums all over the net even if it's a PITA (arstechnica ).

they should have send you a card without you even asking for it, just as a small acknoledgment for your work. regardless of any review.
