[QUOTE=Mr. Odd;279119]Ok, you've convinced me to go the Linux (Ubuntu)/VMWare route but I'm still planning on getting a NVidia 560XTi - I was under the impression that having a CUDA-enabled GPU definitely helped with YAFU and MSIEVE. Anyway, thanks for the input![/QUOTE]

If you don't NEED a GPU NOW, I'd wait for the nVidia 600 series... :smile:

Haha! There's ALWAYS something better coming just around the corner. I think the 560 will serve me well! Does the amount of RAM on the video card have a big impact on factorization?

I found this nice document that will guide me in setting up pretty much everything I need (I'll be doing both one-off factorizations and aliquot sequences): [URL]http://www.starreloaders.com/edhall/AliWin/AliqueitLinstall.html[/URL]
