I've been looking into getting a webcam for a while, but have never been sure what to look for. I have an old Creative Webcam, but it hasn't been in use for several years since I got Win2K which didn't support it. I have no idea if it does now, but I'd doubt it.

So I guess the questions are: which webcam do I get and what program do I use with it?

I'd like a cam that's pretty inexpensive, but decent quality. I would use a camcorder or something, but I don't really trust my AIW card anymore (the latest Catalyst software is pretty bad).

As for software, I have no idea what to use. What's good?

Thanks for your help.

ps- I'll be getting two of whatever cameras they are, so the less expensive the better.
