Hi,
I am considering building a dedicated mining rig and would like to know if a more powerful CPU has any effect on the hash rate performance vs. a less powerful one, ie. quad core vs dual core. If CPU selection has little effect then I can save some cash by purchasing a base CPU.
I will be installing an hd6990.
Thanks
I have a very cheap board that cost me €48 including CPU (via c7): asrock pv530, I think... no problems, saves lots of power
