I said I'd report as soon as something moved forward with this subject.
I've got the computer parts all together and have a computer up and running. Now here's the interesting thing. I may have more computer than I need. I figured I'd need some of the modern equipment that is out there, but it looks like I may have over estimated what I needed. So, below is a list of what I've purchased so far. Remember you need a computer to run Mach2. That's what I'm checking out right now.
Mother board: Asus P5N-D nForce 7501 set Socket 775
Hard Drive: Western Digital WD5000AAK Caviar Blue 500GB SATA
CD ROM: Lite-On IHDP118-4 Internal DVD Drive
Video card: BFG GeForce 7900 GT OC/512MB GDDR3/SLI/PCI Xepress/DualDVI/HDTV
Powe Supply: Ultra LSP750 750-watt power supply-ATX, SATA-Ready, SLI-Ready
Memoory: OCZ SLI-Ready Dual Channel 4069MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz
CPU: Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz
Monitor: Compaq Q2195
Keyboard: Microsoft Digital Keyboard 3000
System Software: Windows 7 Professional
Very easy to setup and had it running in about an hour from a complete dead start. Windows 7 loaded with ease. No problems or lengthy wait like the older versions. Quite impressed with that part. Loaded and played with a few other programs. Connected it to the net, really fast.
First problem I encountered was trying to play a video on You Tube. Told me I needed a Flash Player. Ok, no problem. Went to download the Flash 10 player for this system. Guess what? Nothing compatibale for this system. Mmmmm interesting. So I loaded one from the disk that came with the mother board. Still no go. Could I have to much of an advanced computer here? Figured I wasn't going to use the computer to surf the net since I was going to dedicate it to the CNC machine. Next I loaded up the software for Mach 2, the demo version. The screen wasn't very easy to read. For some reason the Mach2 screen wasn't printing the screen very clearly. Wish I had taken a picture to post.
So I tried it out on my every day computer and Mach2 works fine. The everyday computer runs Windows XP Home version and the screen resolution is lower also as compared to what the new monitor wants to run at.
There's more that I tried but wasn't successful. I'm now as I type this trying to see if I can load Windows XP on it and see if it will run with that.
I also printed out the two manuals that come with the Mach2 downloaded software. I noitced a 2004 date and a mention of Windows XP and 2000 versions.
If the earlier version of Windows dosen't run on the new computer I'm going to set up one of my older boards that I kept and us that. So stay tuned as I experiment.
Oh, BTW, the new system came in at under $1000.00, not bad I think for so much power. If it dosen't work then I'll have a new computer to work with when this one dies.
