What exactly are you transcoding? I've been doing a lot of work with HD video, and it's always the CPU that maxes out first. I'd go for a quality 6GB. I understand your brand loyalty, but do look at some stats on the Samsung Spinpoint F1s as they are generally made out to be the best.

I felt the same as you regarding headsets vs headphones with a clip-on mic until recently. You see, these Sennheiser headphones are just beyond anything a headset can offer around this price point. For example, the Sennheiser PC350 headset which costs a lot more than my HD555s, doesn't produce the same quality sound that the headphones do. I don't know Sennheiser why did this, but perhaps they know that audiophiles are much more picky than gamers.
Can a mod PLEASE edit that word a little....... it HAS to be done :P
