[AG-TECH] Creative Webcam NX Pro

[Osland, CD (Chris)]

Frank,

A very long shot, but I had a similar situation with an M-Audio
balanced audio card.  After a great deal of digging and calls to
M-Audio, they admitted it wouldn't work with Xeon processors -
and I had a twin Xeon system.  Nothing anywhere in the spec to say
this - it works fine with Pentium and Athlon processors.

As I guess the Creative camera may be USB connected, probably not
the same problem, but M-Audio said it was because memory was
accessed in a different way on Xeons (??? interleaving issues ???).

Just a thought.

Chris
