Pretty sweet. They were still confy after 2 hours of Left4Dead and Jess didn't complain once about the sound coming from them..... only about the girly screams from meSeptih wrote:What are the headphones like?
The mic boom glow to tell me when it's muted is useful without being intrusive and the cable's more than long enough to get to me from under the desk.
Aye, the i7 chips have hyperthreading re-enabled after they were shut off for the Core series. Any performance boost can't be too bad! Complicated it may be but it definitely aids your mad speed!Ashee wrote:Admittedly I downgraded it from Vista 64 down to XP 64 but that was due to wireless lag issues (everything else was fine!). Its possibly buying an adapter with the machine from Dell may have got around the issue but who knows.
Currently I recommend this PC. Not quite sure how but I was convinced an i7 was 4 cores. In Windows it shows 8 O_O. Having wikied this apparently its the number of "threads" it can do simultaneously.
As for the wireless issue, I've no doubt it would be a driver issue with Vista. My netgear PCI card is actually installed (through windows updates no less!) as a PCMCIA laptop wifi adapter - netgear are rubbish at updating drivers so I take what I can get! The router has had 2 vista firmwares, one from Oct 2006 and one from April 2008...... \o/
