I'd hit the thrift shops for something in the gigahertz or more speed range. This is assuming you are going to use steppers, with real servo's (more $$) it might do. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: [Emc-users] PII machine
Hi Aaron like in the Wiki described, about 500 MHz are O.K. my experiment with slow computers are: 450 Mhz PIII with 512 MB RAM: Installation works (256 MB RAM failed to install), takes time, Simulation O.K., but Halmeter and other diagnostics painful slow. 1.1 GHz AMD, 512 MB RAM works fine. My recommandation 6-800 MHz are O.K., if You like me without Linux experience.

[Emc-users] PII machine
Hi list Am planning a 1.5m x 1.5m gantry style woodwork router. I have an old PII computer running at 222 hz. I have loaded ubuntu + emc, but can you tell me if I will be able to use it n a fairly basic router set up.
