lathe retrofit. I intend on using a 5i20.My question is about Dell dimension
2400's. This has shown good latency tests as shown on webpage:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Latency-Test It also shows that it
has an Intel 845GV chipset. Will this chipset have the same problems as the
chipset "Intel 82845 845" as listed on
webpage:http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?FixingSMIIssuesAny
information would be helpful!Thanks,Will Baden>>
