RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Laptop for Mach3

200mhz latpop and Mach3?

It may be possible with a very stripped down version of win XP and max'd out on memory. Theres no way I'd even try on a cnc though. I have a couple panasonic's with 1.06ghz processors running windows XP Embedded. With the embeded software i'm running only whats needed for Mach. The computer boots in 10-20 seconds. So far runs flawless.

Okay, I guess I'm wrong on that. I can believe that--I run EMC2 on a1.15Ghz desktop with 768 mb ram.On Dec 2, 2007 10:02 PM, shawn c <shawncd1@...> wrote:>> Windows XP and a minimum of 1000mhz -A MINIUM-.
