Anyone recommend any cheap xeon/I7 vps/dedicated server. Accepting bitcoin as a payment...

You can find a lot at ebay and craigslist but make sure you check the power consumption of the model.

Altcoin Mining or hosting my server

I would like to recommend dedicated server instead of xen/kvm vps. for better performance.
vps has shared cpu so its not good for cpu mining

What? AMD LLANO Could easily hash that at dual core only! Maybe not 64-bit?

Oh I forgot that LLANO has built-in gpu in the cpu chip. That's why it hashes a little bit higher in scrypt

do you know hash rate of "GTX650TI 1GB GDDR5/GV-N65TOC-1GI GIGA-BYTE" GPU ?
