Thread: Is a new PC needed?

I have been happily cutting away using UCCNC with no issues. But my cuts have not been too taxing. My max time taken has been a couple of hours.
I’m now doing a bit more..... a lot more in fact. Probably not efficiently either! Basically I’ve got a predicted 72 hour cut with a 0.25mm tapered ball nose endmill with an 8% step over. Project is 800x450mm so I can only imagine the G Code running into many millions of lines!
UCCNC is properly crippled. Took over an hour to load the file, now for the last couple of hours is almost un-navigatable as any mouse click causes it to not respond for a few minutes. Basically beyond the limit of usability. As is the rest of the PC while it’s dealing with this.
The PC running it is on windows 7 64bit but is fairly low specced, 4GB ram, intel core 2 duo E7400 2.8GHz. But that seems to be well above the stated necessary specs quoted for UCCNC.
Am I asking too much? Will a better specced PC be the answer? Like what? I have an i7 overclocked with decent GPU and 16gb ram inside the house, but I’d rather keep it there! What does UCCNC need most? RAM, CPU, GPU?
Thoughts appreciated.Last edited by Pilsbury; 08-04-2021 at 04:58 PM.
