[Emc-users] Dell dimension 2400

2009-01-09 Thread William Baden

Hello all,I am looking for a computer to use for a lathe retrofit.  I intend on 
using a 5i20.My question is about Dell dimension 2400's.  This has shown good 
latency tests as shown on webpage: 
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Latency-Test It also shows that it 
has an Intel 845GV chipset. Will this chipset have the same problems as the 
chipset "Intel 82845 845" as listed on 
webpage:http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?FixingSMIIssuesAny 
information would be helpful!Thanks,Will Baden

Re: [Emc-users] Dell Dimension 2400

2009-01-09 Thread Kent A. Reed
Hi, Will.

I'm the culprit who posted the Dell Dimension 2400 timing numbers. They 
were obtained in a "drive-by" test of a friend's PC running the EMC2 
LiveCD (I think it was the Ubuntu 8.04 version but I don't remember for 
sure). Nothing was done to his BIOS settings and, of course, the SMI 
"fixes" described in the Wiki weren't in place.

I ran the latency-test for a number of hours. The results looked good 
enough that I've put in a claim on my friend's 2400 when he upgrades, 
but, at this point, I can't honestly say there will or will not prove to 
be SMI issues. If the system doesn't work out as an EMC2 controller, 
then I'll press it into service as a back-end server.

Good luck. Wish I had a lathe to retrofit :-)

Regards,
Kent

PS - your question illustrates why we need to be as complete as possible 
in describing the systems reported in the latency-test database.

If you already have the box, then just load up a copy of EMC2 and get it
running.  Don't fret too much about the "perfect" machine to run it on at
this point. This will give you the opporutunity to get the "feel" of the
software first hand.  The beaty of EMC2 is that you can easily swap out the
computer anytime.  No going to the software producer and saying I need
to migrate the license.

  If its still early in your build, then you can at least get some
experience playing with EMC using the simulator.

Don't get fixated on the SMI issue.  Unlike many latency killers, it has 
a straightforward fix - you just load the rtai_smi module and get on 
with things.

If you have the computer already, it seems silly not to test it.  You 
could have had the answers in the time it has taken this thread to 
meander around the list.

2009-01-09 Thread William Baden

John,This is what concerns me about shutting SMI down:"Disabling SMI can cause 
some computers to overheat and may damage those computers. Intel developer 
documentation states that running their modern processors with SMI disabled is 
running their processors outside of thermal spec, just like running the CPU 
with inadequate cooling is. Turn off SMI at your own risk." As shown on 
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?FixingSMIIssuesI was unsure if this 
would cause problems when the lathe is in a machine shop that can get hot on 
summer days.  So I am trying to find a better option.Thanks,Will Baden> Date:

William; is there anything you can do to make the email agent program (it 
doesn't identify itself in the headers that I get here) you are using be a 
bit more friendly to text type email agents?  The above is very difficult to 
read and follow the threading of, when all the paragraph and line ending 
formatting has been stripped, and no quoting mechanism is used.

Thanks.

Gene,

 He's probably using the Hotmail web portal as his 
client.  Yahoo does the same thing, and it really messes up the formatting.

Mark,

Yes, I am using the hotmail portal, sorry if this causes too much trouble.  

I have looked into setting up Evolution with hotmail, but there is some issue 
about having to pay for this service through hotmail.  

May end up switching to Gmail.  It looks like it is a free service.

Thanks,

It is William, and while its web interface I don't care for, it works.  But I 
don't use the web stuff at all.  I use kmail on linux here, and I feed kmail 
with fetchmail running in the pop mode, then hands it off to procmail which 
pipes it through spamassassin which kills some of the more obnoxious spam, 
then puts it in /var/mail/$user, and my kmail running as root, grabs it from 
there.  All the lists actually exist here on this box, until they get expired 
due to old age.  Some I don't expire, so the whole email corpus here is about 
10GB.
