Hi,
Could some one please tell me what are the minimum PC system requirements for Mach 3?
Also the recommended system requirements for a cnc router, 3 axis and 1 slave axis, 8 micro steps with 4 TPI lead screws for 10’ per/min feed speeds. Other words would I need more than the minimum system requirements?
Thanks in advance for any help.
John

Some people will probably tell you they use a 400Mhz PC, but you really should get something over 1Ghz, or better yet 2+Ghz. As Mach is constantly evolving, the CPU Requirements are slowly increasing as well. You can get 1Ghz PC's on Ebay for about $50.

Thanks Ger21
This might seem like a daft question but does the processor type matter Pentium, Celeron ,Athlon ect?
Recommended minimum RAM?

Processor doesn't really matter. I wouldn't try to run XP with less than 512MB of RAM.
