I accidentally fried the computer I was using to control my X2 mill. I have some questions about building a new one.
Will a PCI-E to parallel adapter run in real time like an on board parallel port will?
What should I be looking for in a processor? More cores or faster frequency? Any reason to pick AMD over Intel or vise versa?
I would like to run 3 steppers and 3 quadrature encoders at 200 ipm. I could rapid to 300 with the 12 year old dell I was using before I fried it. I don't know if it would be able to handle the encoders.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
