just talking to a mate on msn and shes on webcam, anyway she said she had to turn it off because her brother said its making his xbox lag, sounds like bullshit to me, a webcam wouldnt take much power from the net surly

 

when i use to race on x box live i use to turn my downloads off as it made my car lag to fook and peeps complained

 

oh right i didnt it was that sensitive, her brother isnt bull shitting after all then

 

Web cams dont consume much power but will be transferring large amounts
of data. You can only get 1 piece of info down a network cable at once so
if you have multiple data sources that are heavy on data then the network
WILL lag.

 

makes sense

 

streaming video takes about 120k/s depending on the quality. if you have 1mbit, thats all your bandwidth consumed.
