On board video is usually a bad match for realtime linux (see "Problematic Hardware" under http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Hardware_Requirements), and with a single PCI slot you can't add both video and a parallel port. If you can find a similar board with two slots, I would get that instead and plan to add a VGA card.
My first guess is that any 1GHz machine will be sufficient to run emc2, even if its math is not as fast as on high-end systems. Anyway, the marketing for the C7 says it has a "full-speed Floating Point Unit". Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
