Subject: Best capture card for VIC conferencing?

I'm looking for the best possible setup
to do VIC conferencing.
Specificly, I'm wondering what capture
card is the best under FreeBSD for capture,
which card has the highest frame rate,
while affecting CPU utilization the least.

Since H.261 can be CPU intensive, thats why I'm
asking.
My experience with a Quickcam leaves a lot
to be desired.

Thanks Cameron

If there is interest I will post a summary.
