| - | The Software typically achieves hash rates of 90MH/s on Spartan 6 LX75 FPGA's and 190MH/s on Spartan6 LX150 FPGA's. The frequency is scaled dynamically using error measurement, i.e. the software scales the frequency such that a maximum rate of valid hashes is generated. | + | The Software typically achieves hash rates of 90MH/s on Spartan 6 LX75 FPGA's and 200MH/s on Spartan6 LX150 FPGA's.
