Is it worth getting a webcam to use on a computer that is with dialup? how will the reception be? any help would be appreciated.

I doubt that you'd find the performance acceptable. Dialup is an order of magnitude slower than what a webcam needs to be really useful.

I have satellite and it isn't fast enough for a good conversation.

No. I had difficulty maintaining even low-guality audio-only stuff over dial-up and even the smallest video at a jumpy framerate of 1pic/sec would take a lot more bandwidth than you have.

You can sneeze, take a drink, flick your hair, or pick your nose without being seen 'cos of the lag lol ... not that I would know or anything .......

Look its all fine to get on webcam even when u r on dial up , Not big deal , my internet is slower that dial up . thing is u need to get on cam when internet traffic is not heavy . and remeber to give " ur chat client " "HIGH" priority through Task manager .

If you want to use a webcam and stream video and audio then you need broadband, dial up is useless.
