CPU mining

[Shahrukh]

I am thinking to CPU mine new altcoins with less difficulty but I am confused between cores and RAM. Is it RAM which give more Khash/s or cores or processor. For example I have a computer with 8 GB RAM and 1.7 GHz processor and second I have 2GB RAM with 3.2GHz processor which computer will generate much Khash/s ?


I have this configuration :

1x Intel® Xeon® E3 1240 v3
4 cores 8 threads
@3.4 GHz
L3 8MB, x64, VT

The amount of cores and speed (ghz) of the CPU is what determines the hashrate in my experience (and other CPU specs). Ram does not.

It would be your processor specs, not your memory (RAM).

What they ^ said BUT some miners have memory minimums per core.
