Can you elaborate more on this? I have a problem with my CUDA program. GPU appears to be slower than CPU. I'm using GeForce 9500 GT.

Thanks urizane for the reply. I have:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU
E7500 @ 2.93 GHz
2.93 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM

so does your statement mean that even if i use GPU but if ever I have a more powerful CPU then GPU wont beat CPU?

From what I understand of the first of these two posts is that your Core2 Duo is already faster than your GPU.  However, if you intend on this system being used primarily for mining, you could keep the CPU you have and replace the GPU (given your power supply can handle the higher wattage).  In fact, the CPU you have still has some legs in some of the more recent games (except Civ V and some Starcraft II battles) and could see some benefit to having a better GPU and another 2GB of RAM.  The RAM wouldn't be necessary for a purely mining machine, though.
