I'm running a Celaron 500 with 128 meg on board. I mill at about 6
inches a sec , with rapids at 10 inches a sec. Resolution is 2048 an
inch. That would be 20480 pulses at 10 and 14336 at 6. The cam program
I use can not do arcs in the Z plane so I end up with many lines of nc
code with very short straight line segments. But Emc handles these
with constant contouring and the cpu load at that speed is no problem.

If you have I need to mill highly contoured parts you will be amazed
with EMC

Hope I answered you question
