John,This is what concerns me about shutting SMI down:"Disabling SMI can cause
some computers to overheat and may damage those computers. Intel developer
documentation states that running their modern processors with SMI disabled is
running their processors outside of thermal spec, just like running the CPU
with inadequate cooling is. Turn off SMI at your own risk." As shown on
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?FixingSMIIssuesI was unsure if this
would cause problems when the lathe is in a machine shop that can get hot on
summer days. So I am trying to find a better option.Thanks,Will Baden> Date:
