So I googled a mining calculator, to see with my GPU what the chance of finding a block would be.

It's pretty grim.

I got thinking; is there anyway I can direct my mining software to basically drain my GPU? In other words, have it use it to the max so you can hardly even move the mouse around? If you can what's an average increase in hashrate for doing so?

I get 5-6 mh/s, and that's with flags. I understand you need a few gh/s to even stand a chance, and there's no way in hell I can get that on my Radeon 6250 graphics card; but money is tight and I'm really interested in mining my own BTC.

Thanks for the help.

If you are on a laptop, Stop immediatley.
Also, use CGminer with itensity 10 if your not on a lappy, you will kill your laptop mining bitcoins with it
My 5830 gets 300mh/s, costed me $80 brandnew

If you're interested in mining your own BTC, you'll have to get some decent hardware to do so.
You don't really try to use your bicycle when you're interested in traveling 300miles per hour, do you?
While (in contrast to 300mph on a bike) mining your own BTC even works with 5MH/s, it's not really worth the hassle,
you'd probably get more BTC by clicking some of those free-mBTC-links every day without mining at all.

I hope it is a troll account but i doubt we are so lucky.

Please note that mining is not a get rich quick scheme. And you are spending moar money on electricity than what you gain with the "mining, 6mhash? it's nothing
