    Hiya, about a 10 months ago I bought a Creative Live! Cam Voice, and I can't remember the system requirements for it, I'm sure on the packaging it said that it needed a 2.4GHz processor (which I thought was quite a high requirement), but upon research on the internet I've found that it needs an 850MHz processor. So I don't know whether I should rely on my memory or on the internet findings!

    I'm hoping it only need an 850MHz processor because then I could hook it up to my sisters laptop. This is where the second problem is. I bought this before vista came out so it said that the OS it works with are 2000/XP, do you think that it will work on Vista? as I've installed the Sims 2 on Vista and it didn't have a problem with that.

    Please help me!!

    I'm pretty sure it won't need more than 850Mhz...even if it is a 1,3 Megapixel cam. However with a 850Mhz CPU it will probably work with some lag...for nice smooth operation you should have a 1Ghz CPU at least.

    It should work with Vista flawlessly.
