For example I have a Cube with a 1.2GHz processor and a 100 Bus and still choppy iSight. It seems that a 1.25 GHz and 167 Bus is the threshold for acceptable performance. That would be the slowest machine I have that does kinda ok. The one that rocks is my MacPro.

iSight Camera App
I have an iSight hooked up to my Digital Audio Dual 533, running under OS X 10.5.8. Are there any free apps for using the camera better than iGlasses at $9.95? Is the iSight camera being used to its full potential on my Dual 533 MHz system? Motion is not very smooth ... just a function of the cpu speed? Thx. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
