user9450: I heard in some forums that mining Litecoin is better using a good CPU (Processor), different from Bitcoin that's better mine using a good GPU (Videoboard). 
I want know, this is true? For litecoin, is better buy some good processor like i7 instead a good GPU? Litecoin really is better mined using CPU's?

user1409: No. A GPU will almost certainly always be faster than a CPU for Litecoin mining.
See the Litecoin Mining Hardware Comparison chart.

user9524: CPU is virtually useless for scrypt based coins like litecoin, stick to GPUs, for now.
Here is a comparison of the top GPUs you can buy for mining, with user submitted settings.

user7519: Any CPU can still be used to mine Litecoin, although much less effectively as a modern AMD GPU could.
Mining with a CPU gives you very bad hashrate therefore I wouldn't recommend it.
Even a high end CPU will not give you the hashrate of a mid range GPU.
You should use a graphics card (GPU) to mine litecoins or switch to another coin
Additional Information: If you decide to buy a GPU specifically for mining go for an ATI GPU as its much more effective than its nVidia counterpart.
