• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

My son is in Iraq and he can use a Webcam and talk to me for a couple of min. once in a while..I want to get one and do not know which one. Also what software to use? I will buy anything to see his face and hear his voice.

Thanks
 
Just go to WalMart and buy whatever is a good price. You don't need anything fancy. Make sure it is USB, and make sure you are running Windows XP so it installs a lot easier.

As for software, I dunno what the military has blocked, but I would imagine even Yahoo Messenger would work. It has fairly decent webcam capabilities built-in, and it's free.
 
The Logitech QuickCam Pro series seems to work pretty well.
 
I forgot to ask..microphone. or do I get headphone with a mic?

Thanks
 
Either one will work, but a headset is much better. That way the mic doesn't pick up the speakers a rebroadcast it as your own voice. It i pretty irritating to hear yourself talk in an echo when someone has their speakers up too loud.
