This is an attempt to record the good, bad, and the ugly of various motherboard and cpu combinations and how they work with EMC.

This page was a great idea, tho others had different ideas and began another list
Please use THIS test , just run 'latency-test' from a terminal

If you happen to have a motherboard/cpu combination already listed, please do NOT edit/delete any existing entry, but just add your own test results.

Please use the 'RTAI Latency test' listed on this page to collect the results of your system: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TroubleShooting#RTAI_Latency_test

Runs the test for at least 15 minutes, 24 hours is better, especially on laptops.

OVL MAX of 20,000 nS is good, less is better.

ANY overrun is bad, and the system should not be used with EMC.
