So let me get this straight.

- Buy avalon chips in a group buy
- send them to burnin ( or however you spell it)
- He mounts them to a board for me
- he sends me the end result and i start mining

correct? say i buy 20 chips, its only 300 to start? not including shipping and fees etc.

what would you recommend in an ASIC device? maybe point me where i could purchase said item?

are stuff like this any good?

im still a bit of a newb as im just starting. any info on the 16 chip avalon that's worth reading?

a card went on sale locally and this is it..


my question is, will it perform like the gigabyte version? what makes the gigabyte version so good?

Thanks

thanks, just what i wanted to hear lol

would any 1155 chip do? or should i get like an i5 or something. my main mining is GPU. not sure if it would use a little of the cpu or not

thanks for the input guys. im just glad i don't have to go buy a new motherboard now lol. Just need a cheap 1155 chip now haha

Im building a simple setup to get started and the board I have already has 1 PCI-E x16 and the other is x4. Im probably going to pick up 2 gigabyte 7950's locally and was wondering if because they are both not x16, will it effect my Mhash/s rate? and is by how much?

Thanks in advance guys & gals!
