Hi can anyone offer a novice some advice, please? I want
to try video conversation on windows messenger, but i only
have usb 1. I also only have a 150k BB connection. Do i
need usb 2, or would i need a faster connection to gain
any advantage anyway? i assume i'll have to compromise a
bit on quality, but is this setup workable? What spec.
webcam should i get? Should i get a seperate mic? Any
comments welcome. Thanks
 
Greetings Bully,

USB 1 works fine for webcams on the Internet, the extra speed of USB2 really isn't needed for
this purpose (there is no visible difference).

A separate mic/headset is recommended.
