Answer is Mach3 needed an optimization file but Mach4 does not.  We just need to get rid of any extra programs, not connect to the internet, no anitivirus software, no automatic updating of windows, no screen saver, no power saving etc.  My machine in Win 7 is working great using Norton and connecting to the internet so far however.  This is a CONTROLLER of machine tools now not a PC...
