Love the multi-tiered structure. One question... 5850's are mentioned a lot on the forums. Combining two of them together seems to get you to the 700 M/hash range, and costs under $470 ($185-$235 each) vs $734 for the 6990. But I'm not very experienced and haven't done this myself yet, just been looking into it. Is there a reason to opt for the 6990? --[[User:Paperfree|Paperfree]] 04:05, 18 May 2011 (GMT)

I don't see any OS listed for any of these rigs- I assume they're running some Linux distro? Is there any kind of consensus on which distros are best for a mining rig (presumably one which doesn't add much work to the GPU?)

I'm rather new to this, so please forgive the question if it's obvious.

I don't see any OS listed for any of these rigs- I assume they're running some Linux distro? Is there any kind of consensus on which distros are best for a mining rig (presumably one which doesn't add much work to the GPU?) James3mg 16:28, 16 March 2012 (GMT)
