    hi guys.
    Does anyone know if the acer orbicam or any acer built-in webcam for that matter is compatible with an older acer? For example, an Acer Aspire 5000 series? The bezel is the same shape so that is ok, the camera i presume has a seperate connector, do the older motherboards have this connector for future expansion, maybe it is a standard expansion port?

    Thanks guys.

    As long as the webcam connects to a similar port on the motherboard, I don't think the model's age matters...
