    Default Is this computer good for CNC Plasma?

    Hi guys, looking forward to building a CNC Plasma, but I'm not really a computer savvy person, so before I go and buy a computer to run cnc, this is the details on this computer for sale -

    - Intel Celeron 3.2GHz CPU


    - Microsoft Windows XP (Home ed), service pack 4 and current security fixes.

    - Intel 915 Motherboard

    - 1.5 GB RAM

    - 80GB HDD (Seagate Sata)

    - DVD RW Sata drive

    - Multi SD/MMC card reader

    - Philips 190VK 19" widescreen monitor (refurbished caps)

    - includes mouse (A4 tech) and keyboard (Dell)

    - set of PC speakers

    Apparently there is a 32bit and a 64bit version of XP, so I'm not sure if any of these details will help identify if it's a 32bit? I have messaged the seller asking the question, but thought I would ask here as well. If this is a 32bit, would this computer be ok to run PlasmaCam? and possibly Linux later down the track when I wish to upgrade?

    Thanks in advance.

    I know that my CNC and laser do not need a high end computer to run them. I have a high end laptop to do designs and every day stuff and send the jobs to a network storage unit that my control computers can pull from

    Seller got back to me, it is a 32bit. Yeah I get the idea that we only need basic computers to run these machines, I suppose if I need an ethernet port or usb slots installed, could just run it up to a computer shop.
