Mining questions

[MUTO]

Hi all,

Sunny already told that there will be a miner integrated in the wallet. So for the beginning everyone has to mine solo.

I have a few questions about the mining process:

How much will the memory affect the miming rate? I expect nearly no influence, but I don't know.

What do you expect will be the ratio between CPU and GPU as soon as there is a GPU miner?

Do you expect it as easy, to build FPGAs for Primecoin? Or is it as complex as it is for LTC?

Cheers,
Muto

I am throwing a computer together to run this.  I am also wondering if ram speed or quantity have a large effect on hash rates? Also, I assume it will use all cores/threads available?
4770k and M6Gene will be up and running.

You will most likely be able to set the amount of threads you want to use, so you don't have your CPU floored out and unusable while mining.

I don't believe FPGAs will be a worry at first, just people with server farms that can throw a couple hundred CPU cores in to mining Primecoin.
