Do i need a good computer to mine with ASIC?

[barrysty1e]

you'll get a better profit margin with a more powerful processor, try hanging it off a x64 linux box which has its usb controller hanging off its PCI bus. the arm architecture still suffers from poor i/o due to its reduced instruction set; meaning that it executes more commands per cycle meaning it can't respond to interrupt requests as quickly.

im not sure that DuddlyDoRight knows what they are talking about; the system processor itself is not mining.

What is ASIC by the way?

Specific hardware created to mine BTC

[DuddlyDoRight]

The USB bus on ASIC miners is only for control network and mining are on the PCB of the miner(s). Network on the miners needs to be gigabit LAN or better over PCIe. Most are on a slow bus to a controller and the controller interfaces the cable. PCIe is probably too expensive to implement for these turn-profit companies who make miners.

As it's been specified now, the PC doesn't generally make a difference (insofar as it's from this century I'm certain you'll be fine). Better equipment amounts to nothing since you're utilizing the ASIC for processing power.
