Web camera's for computer

[rbh]

So it looks as if I will be in the market for a web cam. We have been using skype quite often, and the small cam in the laptop is not up to the task and the screen is to small as well.
I wish to have one that will mount on top of the tv (flat screen to come later and it will be mounted on the wall)
What I need is a name of a good camera (shoots wide screen??) that has a good mic as well.
thx
Rob

I have used and reccomend the Logitech web cam pro 9000 with really good results.

The quality is very good and the mounting allows you to clip it on top of the PC, monitor, or TV.

I had a Skype call set up with a large group of people and put a 15 ft. USB extension on it so I could put it on top of the TV then move it around when individuals talked (camera and mic in one case.

+1 on the Logitech
Either the camera or Skype wants a dual-core processor for HD calls.
