If I'm remembering correctly.. I think I only managed around 8mhash/s on my Phenom II. That was with an overclock to 4ghz on Windows 7.

I am running win 7.

I was getting poor results as well from my system until I had updated card that I was using.

I had a ati 4350 that got me through for the past 2 years or so.

I started the mining over the weekend.

I singed up at Mining.bitpool.

I am also using the Guiminer.

My CPU was at 20M or so

My GPU was  around 5.

I went from the 4350  to my brand new 5870.

My GPU is now 300M +

My CPU is also running 60 as well.

The old card is short and stubby.

My new card is a Monster. 1 Foot long and 3 times wide.

I have the Phenom II x2 OC to 3.96 GHz. It got 10-20 MH\s. Laughable.

Shaggy you are definitely making mistake somewhere, no CPU available to the public can do 60mhash/s

The fastest intel chip is doing 25mhash afaik

\Desktop\guiminer\miners\ufasoft\bitcoin-miner.exe

I am using the default settings with the miner.

I think that the 5870 Uses a cool streaming tech.  It supposed to offeset you CPU to your GPU. So in a sense that could be the reason. If I can get a screen cap i will
