You need to know the worst case, so you don't get any surprises while you are cutting. For example, when we were doing the CNC workshop Mazak, we noticed that with the original integrated video card, dragging a windows around on the screen would make the machine go "clunk" if it was moving. The video was causing delays long enough to make the machine stop in mid-move. A cheap AGP video card fixed that problem. It is better to find those problems during testing. > 2.
