Sluggish Video Recording

This is kind of a jump from what i'm usually asking, but i received a nice little webcam as a stocking stuffer this year. I really don't use any webcam's for online chatting and stuff like that, but i do like to record my guitar and piano videos and post them on youtube, so, i was pretty happy with this little trinket.
However, i hooked it up, and tried to capture a video, and the capture had a horrible framerate and was sluggish at best. When i use the built in webcam on my laptop, i always got pretty fast recording rates, but this one seems to be very slow. Is it just the quality of the camera, or is there a way to solve this problem. Here's the camera i received: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2473604&tab=summary

Thanks.

The one i just built. AMD Phenom 9950 2.6Ghz, 4gb DDR2 1066, Radeon 4850, yeah, it should have absolutely no problem at all capturing at a high frame rate.
