another misconception on my part. i thought use of ethernet & hardware stepgens drastically reduced the need for fast pc threads. that latency didnt matter as much. i thought that 25 or 35uS latencies didnt matter. that even a 525 would work well given proper interface boards
for me it's always buy/try/toss/repeat. i've got the inventory of boards listed on the latency test pages that just do not yield the same ( or remotely near) results people on the boards forums lists constantly pontify about some new mobo. caveat emptor: make sure of the return policy first. then test for a week ( consider that Fanuc and Mitsubishi and Heidenhain might do as much ) Thx for letting me know your actual experience. i consider that to be of value. i must agree that cheap and good rarely get together TomP tjtr33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
