sorry for this post, but I cannot find related topics aywhere:
So, I decided to try bitcoin mining. I have had an old old rig that has a PCI-e slot given to me :
acer veriton pro.
S370 Pentium D 945 dual core 3.4Gh
2 GB pc 333 DDR2 RAM (dual channel)
WD 160 GB SATA 1 HDD
Radeon 5770 GPU
Installed Win 7 64-Bit. Installed bitcoin-qt win 32 V0.7.1-beta(with Qt v 4.8.2 included). Installed Guiminer 2012-11-18.
I have had it running for 3 days now, and am almost close to sync 98.51% on 2061XX block ou tof 2092XX blocks.
and I am looking at the current block count on block explorer here:
http://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount.
Here is my big question:
it appears that the current block count is incrementing faster than my solo bitcoin-Qt server instance can process the chain. Will this computer ever get into sync so I can start up my solo miner in GUIMiner?
thanks to any one who can help me out;
