I have the very same computer (it's on its last legs), but I got a $50 Microsoft Lifecam webcam that works great. You can use it with MSN Messenger, or Skype or I'm sure several other programs.

Be patient with it, though. Each time I set up a call, it takes my computer a LOT longer to fire up the webcam's video than the other person on a new computer. If you have an issue where you get video but no sound, go into your chat program's settings to make sure you have the correct microphone selected --- you'll want to select your webcam mic.
