It doesn't matter if you have a 4 core CPU or single core, they should work just fine. The point is that you won't get any load of the CPU like you would with the PCI or PCI Express sound cards. Also, if you're running Win 7 or Vista, there is no support for hardware acceleration - compared to Win XP.

This is probably the biggest advantage of UBS headsets and headphones. For PC gaming purposes, I do believe they are excellent. But if you're into something serious, than no USB headset will suffice.
