Is Skype any better than Yahoo or MSN? Is it necessary to buy a Skype handset to get good quality?

Skype is ok quality and from when we used to use it frequently performed more realiably than yahoo and msn with regards to sound.
Any decent handset will be ok, i bought some cheap usb ones which looked like normal handsets and they worked a treat. My Wife when back in phill orignally bought a cheap headset for a few hundred pesos which worked ok, i think it worked using the mic and speaker socket on the laptop.
I would think the bandwith you have avaiable both sides of the call and processing power of the pc, helps the quality more than having the most super dooper handset.
