Your graphics card is not suitable for mining bitcoins. It is too slow to even produce a single bitcoin in a year working 24/7. Buy a mid-range AMD/Ati card that is 100's times more powerful. Look for used 5850's or 5830's if you don't want to risk too many $$$.

A GeForce 210? Are you serious? :o That has to be one of the absolute worst cards for mining that is even capable of mining at all. But don't worry, for there is a way to increase your hash rate with this card: Enable CPU mining. That should at least double the hash rate you're getting from just the GPU. I wish I could say I was joking, but I'm not - your card really is that bad.

Or you could just buy a better graphics card. ;)

You could do this, but don't.

Turn off your GeForce 210 immediately because you are losing money due to electricity.

CPU mining Bitcoins is also a way to lose money.

Thanks For The Input about the 210 - I've Stumbled Across a ATI Radeon HD 6450 - Can Anyone Tell Me If That Card Will be any Better? and If
So... What is It's Hash Rate More or Less? Thanks Again. :)
