Re: [Emc-users] Via motherboard
FWIW - I just upgraded my Mini-ITX setup to a Jetway Mini-ITX Motherboard,VIA C7 1.5GHz,J7F2WE1G5D From these guys: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZfremontgangsQQhtZ-1 for $129.00 http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/itx.html A little more than pricey what you are looking at, but this little board rocks! Ubuntu installed without a hitch, and this is a fast little board. It's a world of difference from my old C3 processor board. Be prepared to buy DDR2 memory, though. I don't use Xylotex, but this has a parallel port on an IDC26 connector that would bridge nicely to one of them.

Re: [Emc-users] Via motherboard
Hello I have used a ITX (smaller than ATX) board with a VIA 800 MHz. I can say that with the VIA CPU the system with Ubuntu and EMC2 was at its limit. After I replaced the VIA CPU with a PIII 733 I purchased on ebay (inexpensive...5 euro or something like that) and now the system with EMC2 run much much faster. Now I think I will replace the PIII 733 with a PIII 1000 when I will find one at very low price... So my opinion is, if you want to buy one of these VIA based motherboard, try at least the new CPUs more than 1 GHz. for example, this one is a ITX with a 1.3GHz VIA CPU http://www.mini-itx.it/product_info.php?info=p106_VIA-Epia-SP13000-LVDS.html I think an ATX would cost less, specially if you find it on ebay. regards, Manfredi My website: www.m24-pro.com From: Sepehr Kiani [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Emc-users] Via motherboard Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:16:14 -0500 Hi, Has anyone tried one of these boards with EMC? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813185043 It's cheap and I can cram it into my controller box easily. thanks, -- = Sepehr (Sep) Kiani, Ph.D. Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pergatory.mit.edu/skiani = - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [Emc-users] Via motherboard
Hi - I have a VIA systems board (600Mhz) running a Mesa 5i20 doing 40 to 60ipm rapids without any problems. Ubuntu is pretty bloated as default, I removed all the Gnome fluff and run plain old X with the Openbox windows manager, it works great. And if it blows up, thats only a $99.00 board that I will loose, pretty cheap to replace considering the total cost of running a CNC system. -ali --- Manfredi Leto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello I have used a ITX (smaller than ATX) board with a VIA 800 MHz.
