All,
I have an older'ish server that I have laying around that has an AMD cpu, 2 gigs of ram and 1 AGP slot, it's just sitting there in the corner looking sad and unplugged.
Are there any AGP cards that will get me 200+ MH/s?

Is there a difference between the word 'computer' and 'server'? - it's something I've often wondered about. Does this 'server' have a usb slot? if so then stick one of those usb asics into it. |

No not really, other than usage, my original use of this box was for local development as a staging/testing server. It currently has windows server 2003 on it. In regards to the usb sticks, they are way overpriced and I will not be purchasing any of those till the price collapses to <= $50.00 / BTC0.50 |

I have an old 6u P3 server with 4x 1ghz cpus, 2gb of ram and a 20gb 10k rpm drive. The only thing useful out of it was the fans. The thing weighs over 100pounds so I could get some money scrapping it.  |

My suggestion: Linux and the world is your oyster - what do you want to do today? Oh GPU mining? No.. |

I used it as a game server back in the day, I thought about collocation but 6u is expensive, I ended up buying a blade server for that purpose. The fans in it are very powerful and very loud, one 80mm fan will blow your hair back.  |

Don't think so. An AMD/ATI 4670 card will do 40 MH/s according to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison |

If its a rack case, take out the guts, put in a raspberrypi or something. fill em up with ASICs and host it at a datacenter.
For an old server, especially if its rackable one, the only thing of value is the case (and fans and maybe PSU).
I have a 1U dell poweredge collecting dust...Too noisy to be put near living humans. Will probably re-use the case...

Don't bother. With ASICs coming online and abysmal MH/$ of low end cards, you will never make ROI. |

It doesn't hold your hand and guide you like Windows. It's not for everyone. |
