If I was to setup a mining machine with quad 750 Ti's powered by a sempron 145, would 4gb of ram be enough to run ccminer efficiently, or would 8gb be needed?

I tried to run 4x 750 Ti's with my sempron 145 and 2gb of ram a few months ago and that didn't end well. If anyone is currently running their miners with a low powered CPU such as a Sempron 145 I'd appreciate if you chimed in. Smiley
Running 3x750 Ti's on the cheapest available Sempron with 2 GB of RAM.  Still on ccminer v1.0 .. getting 5.75 Mh/s total for X11... no overclocking.  ccminer uses ~15% of the cpu.  I wouldn't recommend 2 GB on windows though... that sounds like a nightmare... this box runs Xubuntu and has free ram still.  Built the box before I had heard of X11... thanks to the authors of cudaminer/ccminer, the box is more profitable than ever.
Sadly Windows needs more than 2GB Sad 4GB is the bare minimum of what I'd recommend to use with Windows
I got few. 6x750ti miners with the cheapest celeron I could find. Each rig has a 4gb ram, running windows 7. I only had problems when ccminer only released with x11 support, a day after Christian released another version, and since then CPU use is about 15% on all algos.

i've bought 8gb instead(the same model as my gaming rig) so if all this crap won't be profitable in the future, i can use those ram instead of selling them
