i apologise if im being nooby but i recently got an asrock fm2 motherboard with a black edition trinity processor and 8gb of ram, however when i try to mine i get 2 optrions scrapper and my apu, scrapper gives me 42 mhash/s is this my onboards? shouldnt i be expecting more from 7540 graphics? or is it the fact that its onboard that is the problem? any help would be appreaciated, thanks
It does sound about right for a 7540. The onboard options for the Trinity A8 and A10's apparently don't do much over 100 mh/s either. If you want to mine, a dedicated card would probably be better, 8gb of ram is also overkill for mining and won't do much for hashing speed.
That rig though would be great for games though, or vanity address mining. You could throw in a higher end dedicated graphics card to mine while you game on the onboard. Or spending the money a dedicated card would on bitcoins through a market might yield higher returns, it is a bit late in the game to throw new GPUs at mining but a cheap used 5970 or 6990 might be worth it. You have a sweet piece of hardware as it is. Enjoy it, those mere "onboard" graphics are killer when aimed at Fallout 3 or New Vegas.
