General Mach Discussion / Re: Windows 7
« on: November 29, 2010, 05:07:22 PM »
My files are only around 2-5k lines. I'm just getting into this so my stuff isn't hugely complex. But I would think (and I'm open to correction on this) this sort of thing would mainly depend on your computer and not the OS. Windows 7 is extremely stable in my experience and I run it on all my machines.
The computer running Mach is a 3ghz celeron (E3300 Wolfdale to be exact socket 775) with 2gigs of ram and a decent 7200rpm HD. I personally haven't experienced any issues on any of my machines running 7. I'm very new to CNC but not computers so I'm pretty confident in my claim that if the computer is good enough it shouldn't be an issue. I personally think a lot of the issues that happen with this stuff are down to old janky computers being used to run these machines. I think sometimes people have some unrealistic expectations.
