Title: Noob Mining question
Post by: WhyAskY on June 20, 2011, 05:49:43 AM
I have a HP Dl380 & DL360 along with a couple of 2GHz Pentium 4 Dell.  Is there an effective way to setup a mining farm with these machines?

Thanks!

Simple answer: no. You'll spend way way way more in electricity than you'll ever generate with CPU's since graphics cards can do mining calculations much more efficiently.

You should use GPU for mining, HD 5xxx and 6xxx is good choices :)
