Hi Phil,

What software do you use to mine? I'm keen to try my hand  at mining alt coins.

Edit - question 1  answered I read your signature

Also, is it feasible/possible to slap one or two of those into a machine which currently acts as a home server and keep its current function and just use the Gpu to mine?

Okay  amd  is smOS

smOS is a dedicated linux  you lose  the pc  for other stuff


nvidia is


EMBF_     in a windows 7  pro  box  .    If you mine zec the pc  can do other shit.

the better the cpu  and 2 sticks of 8gb or more ram in the server  you can run the nvidia in the background.

If you want amd in the background mining  you need a windows box or a linux  not dedicated to smos

there are at least 4 dedicated linux setups

nvOC -- for nvidia
