You want a computer with a slot or two that you can install a second parallel port in case the one on board does not work well or fries. I like a little horsepower because I often work on the next job in CAD and CAM while the job is running. You don't want some background interfering with Mach3. Mach3 has a utility to see how well the pulse engine can do. Run that while hammering on other applications.
