150 bucks??? i'm sure its a crappy VGA webcam...

Atleast get a decent(Logitech/Creative) VGA or 1.3 mp webcam !

Decent ones cost over 700bucks...

And i'd recommend getting a separate 'Creative' microphone...

And i meant the microphone embedded with the webcam is not very effective,the most effective being a standalone microphone...

I know Logitech is also a good company but i would recommend Creative. I'm using a Creative webcam since 4 yrs and still its working. Its more like "Value For Money".
