Changing from a 300 MHz to a 400 MHz computer, on the other hand, made no discernable difference. Also, the more computing done on the card for digitizing video, the better. The faster the chip speed of the computer, the better. From our experience, the minimum for the latter should be at least 266 MHz. Because audio and video files are big, the bigger your connection to the Internet, the better.
Compatibility is key.
While manufacturers have agreed upon some standards for video and audio and specifically, teleconferencing on the Internet, these capabilities are still relatively new. When a field is this new, without shared standards, manufacturers tend to work out solutions on their own. The result is that this is still a proprietary arena in many ways. In this way, if the manufacturer has used proprietary solutions to problems, all your equipment will be using the same solutions. You also need to inform those with whom you are planning on communicating of your decisions.
