| Basically it's between sound quality and comfort - the Sennheisers have better sound, but the G330 are a lot more comfortable.

| OK, I'll go with G330 and save myself $25 with additional $5 for shipping :) xactly, unfortunately nobody even ships them to my country, so it's not an option. One more thing that wasn't mentioned in the guide but could be quite important - routers (and maybe modems, although they are needed less and less these days). Any thoughts on these? Personally I have a Linksys WRT54GL now and I'm very happy with it since it serves as a very good hardware firewall and lets me set up LAN at the same time. |

| That's about the only consumer router I can recommend. Its stock performance is okay, with custom firmware it's amazing. "Gaming routers" are expensive crap that crash often (seeing a trend here? lol) and typically feature less features than a flashed WRT54GL, and less expensive routers might be alright but it's nice to have QoS and other features, as well as a large install base so if you have problems you can just Google it and find the answer.

| OK, now I'm looking at processors, and there's an interesting situation here. I can get either AMD Phenom II X3 720 or X4 925 for the same price (around $180 here). I'm not planning to run many multithread apps and I generally use the PC for gaming and game content creation (so I do create models and such, although I don't really render scenes). So which one would you suggest in my case? From what I can see, the main difference between them is the number of cores and the bus speed. |

| The one with the higher bus speed. Personally, I'd use the X3. X4's are purely for video rendering, F@H and stuff that really needs 4 cores. Your content creation will go just as well on 3 cores, just have to wait a tad longer |

| For the same price, though...keep in mind the 925 is the same clock speed out of the box as the X3 720. Its only difficulty will be with overclocking.

| I won't be overclocking anything at all, since I don't enjoy unstable systems, even if the chance is low. Better to have a valid warranty than a little better working part which could go unstable. Also, I have a GA-MA770-UD3 motherboard, although I'm not sure what its limitations are, if any. |

| If your overclock is "unstable", it's not an overclock - the point of overclocking is to achieve a 100% stable system at a higher speed. If it was unstable, it wouldn't much matter how fast it was ;)

| Yea, but I'm not willing to experiment, you know :D Better safe than sorry. I've been reading about FSB and other bus speeds, and found an interesting thing that my motherboard and the CPU doesn't have a FSB at all, it uses HyperTransport Bus 3.0. Then does the CPU Bus speed matter is this case at all? |
