Thanks for the quick response. So you build your machines from the ground up with new componenets? Due to budget limitations I have to build things on the cheap. So I was thinking of obtaining a refurbished machine and adding a video card. I think the mainboards that you name are likely to be much newer than anything I would obtain going the refurbished route.

The Problematic Hardware section of the doc says that onboard video > is problematic. I think that the statement about onboard video cards being problematic is either obsolete or is true for specific mainboard models, because there is huge number of LinuxCNC users that have D510MO / D525MW mainboards in their LinuxCNC machines and are very happy about them. Latency numbers are good and there are no complaints about videocard performance. I have built 4 such machines and will continue on using this exact line of mainboards in future.
