so im going to college in a few weeks and i wanted to buy my girlfriend a webcam so that we could video chat while i'm away. however, im not quite certain as to what i should buy. she has both a mac and pc and so i was wondering what sort of webcam would work best so that she could have the option of running it on both?

The X-Box Live Cam works very well in both Tiger and Leopard.
You'll also find the QuickCam® Vision Pro by Logitech works quite well and is apparently quite nice. The price difference between the two is $100 though. I've chatted using the x-box camera and seems no one complains...well I've only spoken to one person over it so take that fwiw. :)

There are also many more cameras but those two options are best case (price) worst case depending upon your budget.
