Title: QQ about Litecoin Hardware requirements
Post by: qiuness on April 07, 2013, 01:39:01 AM
I read about all the GPU's and bought a 5870 that does 400KH
I saw that the 5970 does ~750 (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison), which is a huge improvement.

Besides the GPU, what else matters with the hashing speed.
This is my setup

CPU: C2D E8400
MOBO: ASUS P5B Deluxe
RAM: 2GB DDR2 (i do have another 6GB laying around but from what i heard RAM does not matter)
OS: W7 Proff x86
PSU: ANTEC P-1000

I`m thinking of stuffing this with 3 miners.
So my questions are:
1. does x86/x64 matter?
2. XP/Win7?
3. Does RAM Matter?

Any advice?
Thanks!
