Title: Is it worth it (my comp set up)
Post by: tom10122 on February 26, 2012, 04:04:02 PM
How much could i get with an hp pavillion 1000a thats been sitting around forever, my real mining comp gives only 12mhash(i kno it sux) , the graphics card  on it is a nvidia 7300e and the processor i already know should give me 1-2 mhashes

p.s already looked on the wiki.

"Is it worth it"?

No. At current difficulty, you could buy off the exchange for less than you're paying in electricity and wear/tear in mining.

PCI   Three (available)
AGP    One (available)

PCI-E not existing = not for GPU mining

as stated above - not worth it!

nvidia 7300e is not a CUDA capabel card so no GPU mining.

If you read yourself truely into the matter you can use this
as a supervisior for FPGA mining. But that is bleeding-leading
edge and most advanced users haven't figured that one out.
Requires additional expensive hardware.


Buy Coins on the exchanges,
buy a used and capable miner at a discount
or read on of the hardware construction topics
and go custom.

Lol I wouldn't be surprised if you managed to lose money with free electricity!
