That's it; I don't think I'm going to post from Yahoo anymore... How
were the previous two for my first post... :-(
I need to buy a new computer so I can run Mach1/2, and am looking for
recomendations. I'm sure it's been discussed, but after an hour of
searching the archives, I've come up dry.
It seems that a 2.2 gig celeron is a good price breakpoint. Anyone
have experience with this processor running Machx? Is it good enough
to run win XP home/pro/Win2k? I'm a win98 user, so I don't know how
much ghz is required to run these operating systems and cad programs.
Is it worth $100 to make the jump to a 2.4GHz p4?
What about operating systems? What's the difference (to a cad/cam
operator) running XP Home, XP Pro, or Win2K? Is it worth $70 to
upgrade?
Thanks for putting up with my goof posts, and my newbe questions.
I've seen Mach2 running a Taig, and am now willing to spend as much as
my Taig for new computer/software to make mine run that nice. (CNCPro
on a P1 around 233 MHz current configuration).
