Hello,

I have been reading about how Zcash's Equihash relies on RAM to mine.

Excuse my ignorance, does this mean its specifically graphics cards RAM that will be used to mine, or the actually RAM within a computer? 

Thanks

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Thought as much, thanks for clarifying.

What are the most cost effective yet powerful graphics cards which would be best for zcash?  Or is it too early to know?
