Nubus July 11, 2004 Share Nubus Member July 11, 2004 Pentium 4 2.4GHz 1.00 GB of ram ATI Radeon 8500 128mb 40 gig hard drive logitech mx510 mouse logitech internet navigator keyboard Gigabyte pentium 4 titan series GA-8PE800 motherboard I use the on board sound with 5 fans inside my case(all I had room for) to keep the pc cool as possible I have ran Anthlons before but when I did my research for my pc this time I found that the pentiums like 2.4 actually runs at speeds 2.4 but the athlons like the 1800 would run at a speed like 1.5 not a 1.8 like most think. So I felt they are pulling the wool over alot of peoples eyes. Maybe thats why they are cheaper then the pentiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2400+ Athalon is pretty much equivalent to a Pentium 2.4 ghz. It has to do something with differences in chip design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random_n00b July 11, 2004 Share random_n00b Member July 11, 2004 Maybe thats why they are cheaper then the pentiums. Google the "megahertz myth". If there's any reason that AMD processors have been cheaper it's because Intel has such a big name that without a very obvious advantage (Money talks!), nobody would even look at AMD.

All Kill3r July 13, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member July 13, 2004 a lot of people in this community use Planatronic headsets. For the $20 price tag its hard to beat, i use them myself. The sound is nice and the mic is clear. Pretty comfortable on the ears too. Plantronics .Audio 90 Stereo Headset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an AthlonXP 3200 sitting around that I need to build a system around, but I'm waiting on the prices to dip a bit more before I bite that bullet. Rough_Rider: Best headphones for gaming the PC155's from Sennheiser. The Plantronics are almost as good, but they break ALOT. The sound quality on the Audio 90s is terrible in comparison. But bang for the buck, the A90s are a good value. The PC130s from Sennheiser offer better sound, but they don't cup the ears as well. If you want to save a few bucks and have a good soundcard, get the PC150s from Sennheiser (more than the A90s tho). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL July 13, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member July 13, 2004 I have a set of .Audio 90s and love them. Here is a great deal on the Sennheisser PC150s (same as the 155s but no USB connect...reviews on the PC155 say the USB connector degrade the sound quality anyway). There is a link farther down on that page that has a combo deal of the PC150 and the Plantronics DSP 500s which are supposed to be good. Go in on it with a buddy and save a good amount of dough. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...0536728-0966503 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruff_Ryder July 14, 2004 Share Ruff_Ryder Member July 14, 2004 Anybody tried these? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-106-012&depa=0 They have a USB connection and I have heard mixed reveiws on that, BTW that is a great deal on the Sennheiser PC150's and they have a better freq. response than the DSP-500's. Since I have a nice soundcard I think I will give the PC150's a try at 35 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penty July 14, 2004 Share Penty Member July 14, 2004 I was looking at those myself, simple becuse you can plug them inot usb. I wonder how it handles switching between the normal o/p and those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
