I'm afraid not! Currently I'm using an HP Touchsmart PC. Which, they aren't the best -- but I had gotten out of the PC gaming world some years back, and hadn't needed anything spectacular, especially in the graphics department. I thought though, that I had read a chart comparing hash speeds, where people using the onboard graphics of an Intel Core i5 were reporting somewhere between 10-15Mhps. Which is what first led me to believe that maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but now I'm thinking this PC is much more useless in the mining world than I originally thought.
I remember seeing that Butterfly Labs (I think that's the name of the company, or something similar) had some very nice products for this, or I had thought about building a new rig from the ground up for this venture.

This is the first miner I've gotten to work. Though, it does tell me no OpenCL compatible devices were found. I downloaded and installed the Intel SDK for OpenCL, maybe my computer just isn't worth it for mining? I thought it would be at least sufficient, but I'm only getting around ~500Khps, which I know to be pretty damn low from reading around.
Would it be wise to invest in a new rig altogether for this, if it's something I want to get into?

Bump. Anyone see an easy flaw in my process or see something that may help?

Okay, I know this is a total n00b question -- hence why I'm here. I'm *brand new* to the mining world. I want to throw it out there at first as well, I know my setup here is not professional. I'm trying this out for research first. If I start to get into it, I want to get a new rig with a better hash rate.
My problem currently, is getting off the ground at first. I've tried a few different miners, but haven't gotten any to work yet. My #1 is GUIMiner. v2012-12-03, which, if I'm to believe correctly, is the latest one. That one gets the common 'Starting..' and / or 'Connecting..' hangup in the bottom right corner. Left corner says diverted to stratum on startum.bitcoin.cz:3333. The device I'm using is Intel Core i5 CPU. GUIMiner does pick it up. But this is as far as I get.
The other one I had tried for a bit to get setup, is I believe called 'CPUMiner'? The exe is minerd, if that helps. Anyways, when launching the .bat file for that one, it reads:
2 miner threads started, using 'scyrpt' algorithm.
HTTP request failed: empty reply from server
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds.
(and just repeats from there)
I know I'm missing some kind of a very easy fix here, I'm just not sure what it may be. Any help would be definitely appreciated! Thank you all.
