As you can see, my CPU is pretty slow and I'm only getting accepted every half an hr or so.

Do you think it will be wise to increase the getwork time? So my computer wouldn't overheat?  

Or will increasing the getwork time cause even less number of work being accepted?

If it will be ok to increase the getwork time, what should I increase it to?  60 seconds? 600 seconds?

Thanks for any info


Sean

When I try to use the GPU, it says, there is no openCL device installed. And apparently Insipiron 1545 isn't good at cooling the GPU. I haven't found a way to use the GPU mining, yet.
