I read Tom Kuhlmann's post today about "How to Create Screencasts You Can Be Proud Of." It's definitely worth a read. But, one of the more compelling highlights for me was a real-live comparison/contrast between the use of a cheapy headset microphone vs. a slight investment bump for a desktop microphone. And, we're not talking about a huge bump, either.
For example, take a listen to the following: the difference between this audio quality and this better audio quality is the difference of about $30 vs. only about $70. Can you tell difference? Just kinda shows the power of a side-by-side comparison.
I typically use a desktop mic for my screencasts. But, I'd be the first to admit that the audio quality still isn't quite at the place I'd like for them to be. I'm upgrading (again) today.

** Update: I just plunked down about $75 for this condenser microphone. I'll write a review in a week or so after it arrives and I've had a chance to test drive it.
