That's why I said to buy 4gb.
I know it works on 4gb, and he is using windows not Linux.  So even the OS will use more ram.

He asked if Linux would require less memory.  I said yes. I recommended 4gb ram. You have said your works.

Which bit was wrong? The sorry part confused me, was it sarcasm from what I said or what?
It's been said in the last few pages that to run 5 gpus you need more memory 8gb ish and a higher power cpu

I would second doubling the RAM at least.


Sorry dude I misread your saying. I thought you mean 8GB is at least for running 5GPUs rig so it is confusing for newcomer. And RAM is much expensive than last year, at least twice.
Don't mind me I'm crazy those days, dude.  Grin

Thanks everyone for the input! Last question is do you think guys 4 Gb might be enough to run these kids under Win x86? AizenSou, could you please recommend Linux distro to go with? So far been helpless w/ Ubuntus of all tastes.

I prefer Debian minimal but I can't still get newest nVidia driver for 750Ti working with this. So I stay now with xubuntu 13.10. You could try lubuntu for more speed and less ram.

Spent days to test 5x 6x and 7x750Tis rigs and I decide to build my 750Ti farm with Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 mobo. I found Asrock has the best compability with Linux but still didn't find any ASrock mobo with 6 slots PCIe. Anyone has better suggestion for me?

Thanks in advance.

why not just use AsRock H81 Pro BTC? built for mining. I have it, and it works without problems under ubuntu 13.10
