Are you a little more hardcore than the average cruncher? Want to produce more than 40k in points daily? Your average Q6600 @ 3.4 - 3.6 will yield approximately 14,000 - 17,000 points a day, that's not how we roll at RedRaider Technology.

Your stock Core i7 system will produce approximately 25,000 - 30,000 points per day. Core i7 @ 3.6+ will easily produce 35k+ ppd.

Here's what you'll need:
