Well the Jalas have no real bearing on LTC so not sure why you mentioned them.

For LTC mining it all depends on what board you have as far as whether you add more cards.  Worth it depends on how much your electricity costs.

A Jalapeno ASIC running at 7,000 MH/s will consume about 40 watts total.

An additional AMD Raedon 7950 card running at 580 MH/s will consume 150 additional watts on your system (card figures are a rough guide depending on system).

Do the maths to figure which is more useful to you.

According to his sig, he loves it with his pos jalapenos. He will love it even more when his 7950 is mining for bitcoins.

Confused.  You're mining BTC with the jalas.

You want to mine BTC with the 7950?  Huh

I've got 2 Jalapenos, and looking to get a Radeon 7950.   But, I don't want to use a rig that is too costly with the electricity or too much for a residential setup.  What would be the best option for me, just to use the one Radeon 7950?  I'm not sure how many more I could add.
