Interesting, I was not aware.

I was thinking in put different GPU cards on the same motherboard, I
don't know if it's the best way, but appear to work, please see the
link that I send on my previous e-mail on this thread. The guy created
a kind of home cluster with GPU that break passwords 60 times
faster...
He also told that Radeon are much better for cracking in comparison
with GeForce.

That's awesome.

Yes, I used pyrit and it's really nice, but it crash often with my
GeForce card. You know, there are a lot of other cracking tools such
as pyrit, Elcomsoft (very good one) and inside pro (I never used, but
people say it's good) but I really like JtR, so if I could use it I
will be happy.
Thanks
