I have zero knowledge of any of this so I hope someone can assist.  I am told my computer is a Quad core.  I am told I have an NVIDIA GE Force 640M LE


-----------------------------------------------------
Question 1:  What do I select for "CPU Affinity" to get the fastest speed out of it?
I dont get why there are checkboxes next to "0" and "1" and "2" .... what if zero is checked and so is 1,2,3,4 ?  Makes little sense to me.

Question 2:  Device options for me are:
Intel Core i7 3632
GeForce GT 640
Which should I select for fastest mining?

Question 3:  When I go to File > New Miner > which one do I select?
New OpenCL Miner
New CG Miner
New CUDA Miner
New Ufasoft CPU Miner

Thank you.

1. If you're using a GPU to mine there still has to be some processing done by the CPU. If a box is checked it will allow that CPU core to be used while mining.

2. 640

3. CUDA - you'll have to download the necessary files manually.

Thanks mister/miss LOL.

Where are the necessary files to download for CUDA, and what do I do with them once they're downloaded.

Im getting about 12.5 MH right now out of my video card.  Not too impressive ...
