Results of an old ASUS AT5MNI board: Got unexpected realtime delays even with base thread interval at 100'000! also the passive cooler on the board got very hot. So I guess, not useable at all.

That might still be usable for running a Mesa board, be it PCI or PCI-E or Eth.
LinuxCNC does not stress the PC as much as latency histogram does, so there will be less heat, but at the risk of having a bit worse latency than the histogram showed. Still usable, as it seems from the results.

If, I would add a fan. The board has but one pci slot available. So it would be either pci or through an additional Nic eth. hang on to next post :-)

This a test for a Fujitsu esprimo 920. There are no expansion slots that would allow for an LPT to be added. So there is only a serve thread. The machine has a ton of bios options available to play. For this run I just switched off everything that seemed suspicious to impair latency. The system felt really responsive, the most responsive I've tested so far.

Not shabby at all ! Thanks to PCW who mentioned this as a very nice LinuxCNC PC.
Beware of the power brick, quad cores come with 180W power supply that is big and heavy !

Just one little thing: There is a hp 830 Elitebook. I guess you do not want your 8300 USDT to be held for the Elitebook?

Your machine seems to work on swap: "Swap useage: prerun: 16732, running: 27432" Add ram! Add 2 ram bars of same size. I would not go under 4GiB.

I am way out of my depth but have got confused. I am running test at moment and these are the results I am getting
Max Interval & Max Jitter
Servo 1ms , -- 10,571,476 , & 9,571,476
Base 25 , --- 30,648,909 , & 30,623,909
Do these make sense?

Edit
Having now read the topic on latency it would appear this machine is not suitable? When I first ran the test it was about 20,000 and I thought ok as it compared with the list of machines that are ok. Having set up the Ethernet to be onboard could that have upset the apple cart?

More info required. What model and type of PC/laptop is this?

What do you mean by "Having set up the Ethernet to be onboard"? Please elaborate.
