I'm not understanding the "overcapacity problem"??   If your car can go 
80 mph, do you trade it in and get a crappier one that can only go 70?

There is a reason why old Windows 95/98 PCs are dirt cheap.

I threw out a bunch of Windows 98 PCs.  I got an entire pallet of them 
from one of my clients.  I salvaged a few parts off of some of them, but 
90% of the pallet went into the trash.

>>turbo cnc?


Your question would be better answered on the DIY-CNC forum on Yahoo.   
There are a lot of users of other PC based CNC controllers on there but 
most of them are LinuxCNC and Mach3.

Hardware is so cheap these days that I think that buying stuff over 2-3 
years old is of questionable value.

The people on this list are somewhat jaded when it comes to preferable 
PC based CNC controls.  ;-)

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
