The card I am looking at is, 5I25 + 7176 DAUGHTERCARD + CABLE PLUG-AND-GO KITS It will be installed onto an old P4 IBM Intellistation 6229, 2Ghz, 1GB ram, so I guess it's a 5125 Will it work? Will P4 be too slow? Just out of curiosity, where are the cards made? thanks, John
Speed is usually not the issue, latency is, so I would first verify that the system has decent latency, a P4 is fine speed wise (even a fast P3 should be OK)
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Latency-Test has some info on the latency test The cards are assembled in the good old USA.

Hi i just build another computer and when i check new boards they mostly manufactured with pcs express connectors - smaller type connectors. So, regular 5i20 card will not work on new mather boards. Will mesa electronics make new boars 5i20 that uses pci express connectors or what? is there a adapter convertor from pci to pci express etc thanks aramWe have some PCIE cards (the new 6I25 for example, and cabled PCIE solutions: 6I71/3X20/7I68, 6i71/4I73/4I65 or 4I68 or 4I69) but for LinuxCNC the PCI cards will have better performance (lower latency for single transfers) and lower cost. Its not hard at all to find new motherboards with PCI slots (an informal check of NewEggs 9 featured motherboards shows 7 with PCI slots and 2 without) Chosing a motherboard with good latency is more of an issue for LinuxCNC than finding one with PCI slots.------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
