They are about the same however the bt848 cards are dirt cheap and offer more functionality. > ATI, Matrox, S3, (others?) do/don't work with the Bt848 capture card? S3 968 with 4MB of VRAM or Matrox Millenium with 4mb of VRAM both around here cost about $200. > The Colour Quick Cam does/doesn't work under FreeBSD using Vic or some other? > Sources are at...? Not sure I never own a QuickCam and they are not that good for audio/video conferencing. > The pentium II does/doesn't have the same PCI bus bandwith limitation that th e > pentium Pro has? (They use the same chipset?) The Pentim II uses the same PCI chipset as the Pentium PRO if you are not using the MMX instructions then a Pentium II is not a good buy at this point . I am waiting for the next Pentium release as well as a better PCI chipset. For audio you probably want an AudioTrix Pro or a GUS PnP Pro. I also placed on my web site my hardware configuration: http://rah.star-gate.com/site.htm You can take a peek at my mbone web page: http://rah.star-gate.com/~hasty/mbone.html I have not updated for a while however it still has useful info. Have Fun, Amancio
