BleepingComputer.com: What do I need to make a video call?

I must admit that my computer is in need of some attention along the lines of putting my files in order, and general maintenance, however, . . in regards to using my USB Video Cam,
I am sure that I could be delivering and receiving better reception, and believe that it is in part do to my computers capacity to provide adequate maintenance and updating hardware devices and drivers.

OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
System Model Presario 4403US
System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 6 Model 11 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~1395 Mhz
Total Physical Memory 512.50 MB
Available Physical Memory 43.46 MB
Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB

The Maximum RAM for this model is 512 MB, and is what it presently has.

My interest at first to increase the capabilities, are to provide possibly a better connection, etc., however presently I am using a dial-up and would like to know what the maximum capabilities would be for a dial up.


My next choice will be a wireless connection since there is one installed relatively close by here at my residence. I'd like to know what the connection improvements will depend on if I choose to use the wireless connection by adapting my computer to this.
