Coinye is the shiz,
Though that was the first coin I've mined so I don't have a system that is optimized for mining. I ended up just using CPUMiner because i've got an Nvidia GTX 650TI and the CPUMiner was really easy to set up and run.
Check out "CUDA miner", works great for nvidia cards with minimal setup, all u really have to know is how to make a .bat file to enter your settings (boy do i miss the DOS days, Intel 486DX4 100mhz FTW!)
Did you get any coinye w your CPU? I just dismissed CPU mining thinking it was a waste of time!?!
