I just re-purposed a nice 3ghz SFF PC for use with mach3, I have 2gb of ram, 40gig drive, and running winXP pro. I am keeping the machine stripped down and trying to keep it as clean as possible.
I have Mach3 demo currently installed and running. I'm new to Mach3 so im learning but thus far i have watched the first video tutorials and have been able to get manual control of my motors. so far so good.
I am looking for tips and tweaks, do's and don't for setting up winXp for smooth running of my mill. are there any gotcha's? things to avoid etc?
I will be adding a 2nd parallel port card to the machine at a later date for additional I/O
