My rigatoni:
OS: Windows 8.1

intel i7 4770 @ stock speeds [3.4GHz, up to 3.9 Max Turbo](4 threads): ~166 H/s -- Wolf0's minerd.exe
PNY nVidia GeForce GTX 750Ti OC [+81MHz Core, +189MHz Memory] : ~274 H/s -- tsiv's ccminer.exe

274/166 = 1.65 , so comparing these 2 mainstream processors, running in Windows, GPU is 1.65 times faster than CPU

Intel i7 4770 @ stock speeds is more than 300 H/s with yam M7v

I'm having a hard time breaking 200 h/s using M7v-win64-haswell on my i7 4770k
using the configuration files suggested in the readme.

Do you have HugePages enabled? Did you configure CPU config? Are you running 4 threads? Breaking 300 H/s on 4770k shall be trivial with yam M7v - many ppl did that. Post more details on your specific setup so I can check what is going wrong in your case.

I am running windows, so I don't get the speed increases available under linux. I wonder if a VM could be utilized?

I have seen 200+ (~220 max), but it was inconsistent. I have settled on where it's at with 4 threads because it is steady and keeps the CPU utilization about 50%, leaving the rest open for running the desktop, apps, what have you.

HugePages speedups and thread pinning are available on Win64 as well. Check finetuning-bcn.txt and hugepages-win64.txt for details.

Generally on i7 4770k you shall run

yam.exe -c yam-xmr.cfg -c win64-i7-4770.cfg -t 4

And check after start it does not complain that it can not allocate hugepages memory.

It is really critical that you use both coin and CPU config for best perf on Win64.

I tested this procedure carefully on four different Sandy-Bridge and Haswell machines (Win7 x64), but hugepages are not available... is there another way of making Windows activate hugepages - and to verify this?

Wow, diff is rising, dudes. It seems SETI@Home admins realised that aliens can wait...

That's why we should consider monero type of currency the bitcoin complement and not it's competitor, If and when they could become somehow conjugated..

Exactly. That's why it will succeed; because it doesn't compete, it complements. XMR's competition is 1) other Cryptonote coins 2) bitcoin-based mixers (including bitcoin-based anon coins like DRK)
Notice I did not say "threat"; I just said competition. Being the competition doesn't prevent you from leaving it in the dust

Bitcoin as bank transfer alternative, Monero as cash alternative ? Tongue

Very nice analogy!

Cash does have serial numbers, don't forget.

Let's say it is a nice catchphrase, even though like most catchphrase, it has limitation. So yes, monero is the cash of cryptocurrency - the coins, not the serial-numbers-encumbered-notes.

The one is XMR Grin
