BIOSTAR is now readying a crypto currency (such as Bitcoin) mining motherboard, the BTC-24GH, with 64 ASICs on-board that offers 24GH/s performance - equivalent to more than 30 ATI 7970 graphic cards. In the Bitcoin world, a "mining rig" is a computer system used for mining bitcoins or other crypto currencies. It can be built specifically for mining or it could be your everyday computer for gaming and surfing, and mine only on a part-time basis.



With the rising price of Bitcoins, GPU mining can theoretically be profitable. What you need is a system that can do enormous amounts of mathematical calculations. Up till now, the best way to do this is the GPUs in graphics cardsm, but Biostar hopes that the new ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit), which are good at solving mathematical hash functions, will do the job more efficiently.
