Hello guys!
I'd like to learn something about bitcoins before i invest more money and i have 2 ways to go:
1) FPGA- it consumes less power but it's not as efective as GPU. I can get 200MH/s @ 10W for ~250$
2) 5870+5850 in Xfire. both cost ~260$
Now i have a few questions on start:
1. Is it good to mine on 5870+5850? AMD site says they can be xfired.
2. On what mobo, cpu, memory, disk etc should i focus? Can it be just a random mobo which handle 2 GPU?
3. Can FPGA/GPU run 24/7 or do i have to do a breaks like 30mins every 24 hours or something?
4. How to minimalize power consumption? I pay ~0,18$ per kWh
Thank you for help
PS
I've read so many articles and topics about it so please dont paste links like https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
