Video Chat Applications (Non-Logitech)

[Leapfrog41]

I have an older XP SP3 computer, 2.4GHZ, 1MB Ram. I know I can not Skype in HD. I want to know if I can load the software to Skype at a lower rate without encountering a problem. I like the features of the C615 and I want a webcam that will still be state of the art when I update my system. I have never used a webcam so I do not know what kinds of problems I might encounter installing the software.

Thanks for your help. I have watch so many videos on utube that I have really grown to like the webcam so it's nice to know that I can go ahead and buy it an give it a try. Could you please answer the following questions: 1. What does " base requirements" allow you to do 2 Can you tell me what resolutions I should be able to record and transmit at. 3. Also is there a step by step software installation guide I can review Thanks Leapfrog41

I have just ordered the C615 webcam which is UVC compatible. When I receive it can I just plug it in to the USB port and load my XP drives and start using the webcam to Skype without loading any software from logiteck?
