DaFuggy questions 2 !

[Dafuggy]

I will be using some with gpu and some CPU.  I see that it works on hashing.

cpu questions.
would server cpu eg xeon be better/faster than i5?
would the 8 core AMD be better/faster than the 8 core i7?

GPU questions
is it better to buy cheaper but more graphics cards or one real fast expensive one?
does it work better with SLI or standalone?

may seem odd but I will be trying to have it run on timers as I have solar electric at home running costs are almost not to worry about, on average I could run 7-12 ish PC's for free depending on the PSU in them.  also I have some old servers here hens the CPU questions.

I am also looking at making a gaming PC and was looking at one top end graphics card or 2-3 sli cheaper ones to = the same overall price.

CPU work it out yourself  www.en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

1.GPU if you have it and electric is free then its worth running

2.if you need to pay for a GPU and electric is free try to get a good balance such as ATI 5850s powerful but use a fair amount of power hence people are selling them

3. if your paying for power and a GPU then buy Newer models 7870s and such as there high hash power for low power consumption

4. pretty universal dont buy Nvidia as there just not worth it compared to ATI/AMD card nvidia use more power and achieve lower hash rates by a rather large %

if you want to get the best of the best look into buying FPGA cards (mining ones not programing ones) or ASICs

how rubbish are CPU's at doing this.

and I was looking at the new 7990 for my gamer.

they don't seem to have agp cards I guess they will be worse than cpu stats.

and multi cards are not quite twice as fast.  thanks for your help.
