Thanks in advance. Ron Oh, my!!! That is out of the antique museum. I haven't run EMC2 on anything less than a 600 MHz Pentium III is some time. If you don't use Axis, you can go a bit lower, but the Axis 3-D preview screen eats up a lot of resources.
I use off-lease Dell Optiplex desktop systems (that is their commercial-grade line, not the home-grade line). 600 MHz is now pretty much the bare minimum CPU speed, and I'd recommend 1 GHz for better performance. You need 256 MB minimum to install from CD, it will run with a bit less after the install, if you really need to mess with it. Easier to just leave the 256 MB in there all the time. I don't run software-generated step systems, so these requirements may be much too low for those systems. Servos take less system resources, as they generally only need real time response on the 1 ms level, not in the us level.
