OK. So I got one of the Dells running, loaded the latest M4 Hobby lathe demo and everything looks to be working REALLY well.
Nothing weird ... at all. Honestly, being the recommendations skipped over VISTA, I was expecting the worst.
I wonder why VISTA was not listed above but is included below to be used with the PP driver.
Does anyone know if the 32 bit Vista will work with the list of "ready" motion controllers ? Or, is that a question for the motion controller supplier ? I'm sort of hoping that it was just a typo in the upper list omitting Vista. All else is really looking good !
Dell Optiplex 740
Windows Vista Business
Service Pack 2
AMD Athalon Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.3 GHz
Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
System Type 32-bit Operating System
On-board video is a bit weak at 128 but I could add a better card. ?
These were wiped clean and set up fresh by the IT dept and are sharp and fast !
Fingers crossed ..........
Thanks
