The only problems you might encounter are one of general annoyance on your part after a few goes of rebooting your machine just to use your webcam :)

.. and that while you're running with a non-SMP kernel you'll only be using one of your presumed more-than-one CPUs. Which probably won't really be a problem at all.

I actually have a QuickCam Pro 4000 too. I haven't tried very hard to get it working yet. Perhaps I should take a look at it.
