greetings all,

....was thinking about heading out to wal-mart (wm) later and figured that i would look at whatever webcams they have...i have one but will only work with win98 so, it is useless with xp...

....so, if i get to "wm" later, what should i be looking for in a web-cam (specs) should they have a choice/......thanks!

You want to look at the features:

  1. Does it have a mic
  2. Does it auto adjust to light
  3. Are you able to sit on a monitor.....
  4. Does it Support all OSs including mac....

I like my VX300:
  1. Has a Mic
  2. One touch windows call button
  3. Auto adjusts to light
