Would firewire & the appropriate webcam have
advantages over my philips webcam that uses usb?

Maybe, and maybe DIS advantages depending on what
you are doing. Hard to answer in such a vacuum.

I should be more specific! Theoretically would firewire
& an appropriate webcam give me better results for
streaming video in a chat room than a conventional
webcam & usb?

Likely no benefit that is worth the trouble. You are
almost certainly bandwidth-limited by the internet
link. The best camera on the planet still has to be
compressed down to fit through that thin pipe.

If you want a cheap way if improving the video
image, consider better lighting.

Perhaps a little bit, but steaming video will always look like streaming
video. It depends on yours and the viewers bandwidth.

Firewire is faster and has better support by many video editing
programs. Firewire can also control the video camera.
