I much have super computer but have cheap speaker or have a Geforce ultra and a cheap screen.
One of my friend have a platinium live there is no improvement.He have buy a apdater for is speaker major improvement.Others friend a buy a geforce (1) he was only able to play a couple of game.His card was really fast but dont support most of the game.Logitech wheel mouse optical much more useful that a fast cpu.In diablo 2 you can change your skill much faster.My mom have a p3 450 but have dial-up modem so they internet is really slow.
he posted in another thread, he's from France.
I'm not gonna bug him too much about his English now, but he would probably be better off to use babel.altavista.com to translate it from French to English for him.

Independant thought is good.
It won't hurt for long.
"I know you'll think this is stupid, but it's true.
Most have a fast computer, but have cheap speakers. Or they have a GeForce Ultra, but a cheap monitor.
One of my friends got a SoundBlaster Live! Platinium, but there was no improvement in audio quality. He had to buy an adapter for his speaker to get a major improvement. I've got another friend who bought a GeForce, but was only able to play a couple of games. His card was really fast but did not support most games out there. The Logitech optical wheel mouse is much more useful than a fast CPU. In Diablo 2, for example, you advance more quickly with the better mouse than with the faster CPU. My mom has a Pentium III 450, but has a dial-up modem. Accessing the Internet is really slow."

I believe what he's trying to say is that most people look at the CPU and video card, but completely overlook the other things such as a quality mouse, a nice large crisp monitor, or quality speakers with a subwoofer. He's arguing that these things, most seen as peripheral 'perks', can usually add more to your computing experience than the greatly sought after benchmark points.
In my opinion, I think I'll go for having the best CPU and video card _and_ the best speakers, monitor, and mouse.

I have the Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500. The sound quality on it is pretty good, but not exactly brilliant. Don't get me wrong, It sounds way better than any normal PC Speaker, including microsofts USB speakers.
But, I've been looking at this Yamaha Amplifier and speakers. The amplifier supports Dolby Digital, DTS and 4.1(dual inputs). It is also THX certified. I like the Speakers because the front stereo set are two way, so you dont have to fiddle with the settings to get a broad range of "sounds", unlike the usual satellite speaker sets. The rear speakers are the usual single cone satellites. I'm bit sure about the center one.
My monitor is 17" and does 85Hz at 1024x768. I'm happy with it.
They go well with my GeForce and SB Live!

Thanks Raystonn for clearing that up. What a hero. Now instead of being incoherent it's just rambling. It's not much of a post, but it is entertaining in a weird sort of way. Any guesses on juin's age?
I'm not trying to be mean, juin, just poking fun. But you might want to think about focusing on one issue at a time instead of using the shotgun approach.
speakers are important i agree, but its all about balance... get a nice graphics card... get a monitor so you can appreciate it but make sure you get a monitor that can take full advantage of the card (i recommend a better monitor than a card as youre more likely to upgrade a graphics card than a monitor, my lacie is staying for years...) speakers i need, ive got my box hooked up to a hi-fi but id rather get something a bit better (i blew one of the bass speakers ) but still... you make a valid point get everything in balance, if you cant afford the best graphics card and monitor dont buy the best graphics card and go for a cheap monitor go for a good graphics card and monitor....
you do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
Not really. Simulated Surround is nowhere near as good as proper surround sound. I have a pair of sennheiser headphones. You know the DJ style ones, but not very big. They're no match for the Sony audio system at my friends house. True say, the headphones were only a fraction of the sony amplifier itself lt alone the speakers.
