My latest CNC PCs are HP and Dell Core 2 Duo PCs (HP DC7800 or DC7900). They have latency around 7000ns. I also have some P4 and P4 Celeron PCs that work well in the 20000ns area. Even the SFF PCs usually have a few slots for expansion. They are not too old so they can boot and install from a USB thumb drive. A 64GB SSD cuts the boot time in half. http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Latency-Test -- Kirk Wallace ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
