I would imagine so, and probably you wouldn't need that fast a
machine; displaying it would simply require grabbing an uncompressed
frame and then copying it to the screen.  My application needs to do
JPEG compression, which is CPU-intensive and relatively timeconsuming.
(A simple C frame grabber program that just gets an image and discards
it can readily do 60 frames/sec on the machine, which is around a
450MHz machine.)

The PXC-200 driver certainly won't work on Windows.
