DBK cam question

hi all, im interested in an upgrade looking at the DBK21au04.as-- i see on the website IC capture requires a video/graphic card under requirements, my XP computer only has 'internal video' (lack of better words) so would IC capture work on my old machine? thx john

Should do John. The video is captured by USB or firewire not the video card.

Most laptop internal video cards should suffice.

I would recommend you check you have USB V2 and not 1.1 or 1 (unlikely to not have ver 2 unless you have a relic)

On some laptops the hard drive may have trouble keeping up, but they are incredibly cheap to replace now., even
A small ssd is really cheap and makes an older laptop fly.
The on board video card will be fine.
