I have the usb Connectix VC...It has much better framerates than the
Parallel version my buddy has and we have very similiar 233
systems...Plus the power and data use one small usb cable instead of
that messy parallel setup....If you have a usb port go for it....We
both use netmeeting via 500kb Cable modems with nice results...For 90
clams you cant go wrong..
