562966 2007-06-25 20:07:00 Just a quick question:
What is a decent webcam that I can purchase. Want to use it mainly for Skype. Any advise would be apprciated, like what would be a minimum specification. Thanks

It helps if you're on Broadband, but webcams still work on dialup.

Here's a few (www.edencomputers.co.nz)

And here (search.dse.co.nz 6a9&site=&w=webcam&submit.x=0&submit.y=0&submit=Go)

Prices will differ, depending on where u buy it.

562969 2007-06-26 00:50:00 Keep in mind that some only work with latest versions of Windows etc; eg the one we got recently doesn't work on my XP SP1 machine, only on the XP SP2 laptop. So check the requirements. Greg (193)

562971 2007-06-26 02:12:00 I use the VEO Stingray...it's USB 1 & 2, and it's quite good..but I wouldn't use it to take pictures with any need for clarity other than a really small shot.

We get them here for $7.95 USD.

..and no problem XP-Pro w/SP-1 or SP-2 or not.
