Yeah, you're right that it's understandable that the hardware requirements for such a feature are high. I'm just disappointed that it didn't just work, guess I should have read that table at the bottom of iChat's product page and stop listen to the word of Steve.

    I'm a little unclear about the hardware requirement. If you have the right hardware to HOST a four-way video chat, what do the people you are video-chatting see, if they have slower CPU's such as a Powerbook? Do they see ALL THREE videos (plus one of themselves) just like the host or do they only see a one-on-one video with the host?
