Isn't a GPU PCI-based?
Yes but they are not built for the purpose of what we are using them for hence inefficent. It's like using a car engine to generate electricity sure you can do it but there's better engines to do that with.
Ehm, do you know the FPGA and the ASIC?
Miners have been using dedicated hardware since months, lot of ppl use FPGA to mine.
And BFL soon will release ASIC to mine (yeah well, probably they will)
Right again I was talking about how you still need a PC running to use those FFPGAs and ASICs
Assuming you're not actually trying to mine on the tablet itself (you're talking piddly squat for performance), the problem with that is that most Android phones/tables do not have a USB host controller. If you found one that could act as a USB controller and not a slave, you could possibly hook up an FPGA and run some mining software. If you're really serious about that, I'd start a new thread, and maybe check out
this.
Though I do
Love the sound of using an old router to run the CGminer.
I was about to get all excited when I said myself "Sure I have a USB port on My Asus Transormer Prime!" then realized that the charging port was what connected to the USB for data transfers too bad I don't have the docking station might be the perfect low power PC.
