Hello!
I have two HD6990 card. What CPU is needed if only the hashcat use my home on it? I i3 CPU, 4GB RAM, Gigabyte PH67A-D3-B3 to think. Counts in the PCI-E speed?
cpu doesn't matter for hash cracking with hashcat. i have used two hd 5970 on cheap motherboard and i3 530 cpu and no speed difference when upgraded to z68 motherboard and i5 2500k

It DOES matter ! hashcat is CPU-based. The more powerful CPU, the faster you get.
obviously talking about GPU hashcat
Depends what else you're going to do. If you want it to act as a server or do lots of other CPU-based processing of your own custom stuff you need the CPU power.
If you plan on doing nothing more than using the GPU's to crack then get a less powerful CPU. Just dont aim for cheap-and-nasty because it will bite you elsewhere.
I do not want to use something else just to SL3. So it is enough to Deploy i3 CPU.
It's even enough to use Atom cpu for SL3 ...
Sorry but I do not understand. Only two HD6990 GPU to use my SL3.

Do you mean that the CPU is not used at all and is useless for oclhashcat ?
for SL3 you don't need CPU power.
