Oh, well install your nvidia drivers to it and sin no more. <grins> Ric

p/s what WOULD be interesting is running your milling system with 
something like proxmox with a teeny tiny little kernel on it and run 
your setup from it. Might be faster than heck when all of your desktop 
chores are offloaded to a browser on another machine. You could run your 
lathe from a lap top while seated on the throne or vacationing in 
Quebec. Ric
