yes, but yahoo has never given me a good framerate, so I stay away from it.

Well, they should really call it "view my slideshow"!

But that's with everyone, Mac or PC, regardless of what webcam they have — Yahoo just doesn't do smooth video, not even close.

It does, but I find that Yahoo will subsequently get very unstable and prone to crashing. This is particularly true if you double up using the iSight with Skype for doing audio at the same time. A shame, really, since the iSight does provide excellent video/audio quality.

I get about 1 fps, ditto for my friends in the pc world. Due to the lack of video chat support in msn, the only choice out there for the Mac is iChat.

Yahoo can't even do voice chat. Fortunately, there is Adium.

No, iChat AV isn't the only option. There's also iVisit.
