1. The size of servo motors that I used are 430 oz/in peak. I use them at a 2:1 ratio. I still get over 150 IPM using a PIII-500 PC.
2. I'm not much help here since I have access to software from work. I use MasterCAM.
3. I am in favor of the G320 Gecko servo drive. I have used it on both my Enco mill/drill and my home built CNC router.
4. Take a look at Mach 2. I have written a review of beta 12. It is in the review section on this board.
