Question: iMac G5 Internal Mic

[thunderer]

I posted this at Spymac, but I didn't get to see what the answer was, as I forgot about my question until Spymac shut down for their WOS upgrade. Anyways...

What's the quality of iMac's mic? I ordered an iMac (G5, 20", 1GB RAM) but I'm wondering if the internal microphone is sufficient for audio chats, or if I should look into getting an external microphone.

Also, if the internal is not sufficient, does anyone have any reccomendations on microphones that have worked well for them?

Thank you!

They're probably the same, so I'll say this: My mic on my iBook is great for audio chats. It's even good for some recording. It picks up a little fan noise, but nothing major.

I also had the opportunity to try a "MicFlex" out and it worked quite well, too. It can be put farther away from the computer eliminating the computer fan noise, especially, I would think, on computers with more fans like the iMac.

The internal mic & skype work great for me!

The mic on the iSight is even better and you get to try Video chats as well!!
