What Type of Computer / Importance of Look-Ahead Lines



What type of computer should I buy / importance of look-ahead lines

The computer is one of the most crucial components of your CNC machine, I often see many customers cheaping out and using a super old computer.  This in my suggestion is not the way to go, as 60% of trouble shooting calls I have been on points back to the computer and not the mill / lathe.



I have personally found that XP computers are simplest to set up, but Vista is easy as well if a few steps are followed,


Make sure the automatic windows update is turned off, I have personally crashed my machine bad due to this (learned the hard way).  If the automatic update turns on in the middle of running a program, the processor is paying too much attention to this and not your program. (CRASH)
