This should hash really well!

Its a monster FPGA no matter what you use it for but the thing about mining with it is someone would have to write a bitstream for it - which would require a skilled programmer and a lot of work Title: Re: XILINX VIRTEX-6 FPGA (CHIP ONLY) NEW $750 SHIPPED Post by: rjk on March 30, 2012, 09:32:04 PM Hmm, I'm surprised no FPGA board designer has bought this.

Why such a big price difference ...

Why such a big price difference ... this has 250k logic cells - which is a bit more than the spartan-6 chips in icarus and x6500 that you can get 200mhash from but it would probably not be able to do 800mhash - probably more like somewhere in between |
