Re: Acorn CNC PC requirement
Ok I was going to ask the same question IF the Acorn has a onboard processor why the need for a whiz bang computer? I have a Dell Latitude E5510 that looks to have a straight line rating of 1100, has a SSD and 8 Mb RAM. I hate Windows 10 Pro but it runs Corel Draw and VCP 9.5 just fine. If in the future I would like to use this with a Acorn, why the the onboard processor on that board would it need more to just run a router?
BTW works fine with a ESS and Mach3 install I would assume the Acorn would be an improvement.
Slodat what do you have for a computer?
PS I have used laptops for years to run CNC machines, not a big deal if you know what your doing.
