Workstation 6.5: webcam recommendations

Can anyone recommend a webcam (Logitech, Microsoft, etc.) that works with VMware Workstation 6.5? Host and guest are Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

TIA>

If possible buy a cheap no name USB-webcam - avoid Logitech - they have horrible drivers

Can you point me to one? I'm hoping to find someone that's got one working so I don't end up trying 4 different ones before I find one that will work. None of the MS ones will work either?

Don't know about MS-webcams - I only use no-name stuff

Ended up buying a Logitech QuickCam Communication MP (PN 960-000315) and it worked, though I had to install the drivers (which I'm surprised installed with out problems) before it would work even though it is a UVC cam. Note: installed drivers under guest only.
