was that suppose to be a question or just a random statement
One of the most important thing about webcam is lighting. adjust your lights or get like a light stand thing. If you make it brighter it looks smoother. Or something like that. -

Definitely agree with the above. More light and a contrasting background will help the camera to keep the pen from blending in with the background.

absolutely.
a slow computer won't process the filming fast enough and will limit your framerate and resolution.
furthermore, you need large disk space if you're filming in uncompressed format and only compressing later, whereas you need more processing power if you're filming in compressed format (because your computer needs to convert on-the-fly) -

Lighting is an issue, but the biggest thing I found is what you're recording with, I started recording with sony Vegas's capture feature and it improved my quality tremendously.
Lighting is important but I would have to say that software is the most important quality with good lighting of course. -

bad computer specs will result in dropped frames.
besides, you must set the exposure rate as low as possible for high fps videos -

I think having a moderate computer is good enough...
These days moderate is: DualCore 2.4GHzish - Core2Duo 2.0GHz, 2-4 GB ram
