what is a good cpu for doing cnc router work also if you have a 2.0 gig or faster processor can you run 2 machines at the same time off of 1 computer if you have 2 parallel ports? i have the hobby cnc drive board and stepper motors that i am going to use on my 1st machine and will most likely go with them on my 2nd one too.i am looking at the different cnc programs that are available and will most likely start with either mach or turbo cnc i havent decided yet. but my main question is can 1 computer run 2 machines at the same time if configured correctly
thanks for any info James
