I'm looking at getting a CNC parts router kit and they support running the machine from Mach3. So I'm going to buy a dedicated PC to run the router table. Found a machine local, it is XP with SP1 to 3 installed. If it is not going to be connected to the net so what ever " bloat" in the service packs should not be an issue?
The PC in general exceeds the min requirements P-4 @ 3.4 Ghz, 1 Gig ram and an off board Radeon x300 graphics card with 128 Megs of ram and twin monitor support. Anyhow one question is about the ram, I know from video editing software that just meeting the min requirements comes at a performance price. Would more ram be helpful or useless to Mach 3?
