Not really, Sennheisers are known for extremely clear audio reproduction. Some headphones are designed to make music sound better but those Senneheisers have been engineered for complete neutrality. They will reproduce every detail and have amazingly full soundstages. I havent used that particular model, but I can vouch for the HD565 conveying the location of every instrument in an orchestra clear as a bell and you can bet it does a good job tracking footsteps. The only place where you really loose out is that there is no built in volume control and there is no microphone. Audiophiles place great emphasis on being able to pick apart the instuments and the finest details of a musical piece and thats exactly what those headphones are engineered to do. It should also be noted that sennheiser also sells high end gaming headsets.

nice. I was actualy about to recomend the 518s, great headphones. I guess you're set then.

When you use a USB headset you are bypasing your PC's soundcard and using a completely different device. If you speakers are connected to your soundcard and you have a headset with its own soundcard you are having to switch between to different audio devices.

Sky is right about wireless not being good. On top of that, dont buy headphones made by "gaming" companies. You are buying a pair of headphones and a microphone... buy them from a company that makes headphones and microphones. (AKG, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamics, ect.) Also I would have to say that unless you really want the headset, standalone headphones and mic are just far better. Both will tend to be higher quality when separate and cost you way less. But again, which ever way you go. PLEASE buy from a company that actually makes headphones. Its just silly to compare Logitech or Razer to something like Sennheiser or AKG. Basically what you need is a well build pair of high precision headphones with a large sound-stage.

If anyone wants to have an event please post here in advance so we have warning and can get people rounded up. There just arent enough people on demand to fill these events.

ah ha. Im still safe, Mosaic ftw

This was extremely late notice. Unless you were on between 8:30 and 11:00 would would have missed it. As it turns out you didnt miss much. The other clan fielded 15 highly tuned tier 8 tanks and we had something like 7 tanks from tier 5-6. Would love to have you along next time.

As a few of you are aware, SG's WoT clan was recently involved in a battle of sorts (more of a one way exercise in target practice for the other team). So, given the increased increase in this game I think we should start organizing events in advance and as a group so we can avoid situations like the other night and get the most out of this. We had decent attendance for such short notice and a number of people have expressed interest in doing this again. If you want to participate in one of the upcoming WoT events, suggest it here and make it known so we have adequate notice and can organize a fun event.

I would be onboard with this.

today only, get free day of premium in WoT. code is ANTHEM.

Very nice! Yeah that is a good case. Explains why it was so hard to find.

Anyone know what the Chinese heavy line is looking like? That might be a good choice.

It depends on the laptop. What you need is a laptop where the GPU is connected via a socket however without knowing the exact latptop I cant say if you do. It is also possible to replace it even on a soldered in GPU but thats not going to happen. If you arent concerned about voiding a waranty and do have a laptop with a socket interface for the GPU (uses pins for easy replacement instead of direct soldering) it is quite possible that you could do this. You would however have to keep in mind the increased power draw and thermal output of a more powerfull card so unless you know for sure your laptop can handle the load I wouldnt do it. If however a higher end card was an option when your ordered your PC I should think you are good to do. As to the RAM, unless you have a mac (lawl mac) you should have no problem at all replacing it, just make sure you have the correct type (right interface and dont exceed what your motherboard says it can handle). Its also quite possible to upgrade wireless cards, optical drives, ect. on a laptop just like on a desktop its just that the format does not lend its self to easy access and there are more things to keep in mind. (height of optical drive for example) Post your laptop model here if you will so we can see what is possible for your laptop. Happy to help if you decide to change anything out.

Of course if you REALY want to get this to work but cant be bothered to buy a blu-ray drive for you PC you could plug it into a capture card. Of course those cost more than a BD drive.

I would also highly suggest you buy some arctic silver 5 thermal compound because the stuff they put on OEM just isnt as good IMO.

AMD FD4100WMGUSBX FX-4100 Processor - Quad Core, 8MB L3 Cache, 2MB L2 Cache, 3.60GHz (3.80GHz Max Turbo), Socket AM3+, 95W, Fan, Unlocked, Retail at TigerDirect.com this will be quite adequate and costs no more than that APU. would work with your original mother board

one is socket AM3+ and the other is socket FM2.

It looks to me like your CPU will not work with that motherboard.

My biggest concern is not that they will screw up COH2 at launch but that they will mess up the support down the road. COH1 had continued support for years.

I swear if Sega so much as touches a single texture in COH 2 I will be seriously pissed off.

all in all I would say she isnt looking too bad for being 12 years old this year.

damn. hearing loss incoming.

Bowie Sensei is having the same issue. Completely re-installing gmod and flash didnt help him. No idea whats causing it.
