Thanks.

I have a noob question:
Can anyone explain me the differences between the executables:
ptsminer_avx_intel.exe
ptsminer_intel.exe
ptsminer_sse4.exe

And the parameters:
-avx
-sse4
-sph

I have one i7 2600k@3.40GHz (8 threads) and one Xeon (12 threads). Which setting is better for my rigs? I've done some test mixing things, but I can't notice the differences.

Thank you.

cat /proc/cpuinfo or use cpu-id to see if they have avx or sse4.   

well, i can tell you the i7 2600 has avx & sse4, unsure about whatever xeon that is.  since it's a hexacore i think it also has avx (all the hexacore xeons do dont they?)

avx is better, theoretically.  i dont notice much diff between avx and sse4, either.   the diff between avx/sse4 and sph should be noticeable though, maybe over a longer period of time

some machines are more suited to something like quark, eg dual core Xeon L5420 which will max out at around 100 collisions on ptsminer vs 650khash/s on minerd...   1240v3 will get around 800khash/s but 170-180'ish collisions
