Re: [Emc-users] latency tests?
Hi Peter Thanks for the test and report. I tend to favor any but Intel. I've had fairly good results with C3, C7, and almost any AMD. The point we should take from your test is to try it. There is a used computer store that I occasionally visit looking for bargain boxes. I carry a Live CD and a couple of the guys will let me reboot and test their specials.

[Emc-users] latency tests?
I guess the end question is, is this machine going to be able to run a stepper driven lathe? From the latency test window, servo thread was 218376, and base thread was 88463, this after firing up FF and hitting a couple of sites, m oving FF around, and running glxgears.
