[P1] iChat AV with slower machines.

[Benjamin Ing]

I tried it yesterday with my iBook (Dual USB) (G3, 600MHz), and my DV 
camera over FW would not transmit video with iChat AV. Then, when I 
went back to the iChat AV beta download page, I noticed that it stated 
that using a DV camcorder requires a G4 or G5 processor. When I did the 
exact same hookup with my 450MHz G4 Cube it worked fine.

I haven't had a chance to try using a FW web camera (an iSight or the 
iRez), but according to that disclaimer, they should work with a G3.
