Hi you all, Gene inspired me to try EMC on my holy desktop writing computer (will never get in touch with the dirty workshop!). It is a AMC Athlon XP 2600. I can't do anything to bring the latency test higher than 4288 and 5020 for servo and base, resp. I have tried 4 of my computers so far and it seems to me: maybe, could high latency times be a property of intel processors? regards Peter Blodow
