Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

I'm sorry for you : you can't. You can forget everything that is 1 Gb for mining Ethereum. Even 2 Gb is barely feasable, so you can totally forget about this. And that's not even a real graphic card... You should buy a RX 470 or a 1060. Just wait to see what's best and buy it.

Thank you! What you just told me saves me A LOT of time.

So do you own any of these graphic cards you mentioned before?

Forget the mining with a notebook, no matter if you manage to get a very good dedicated graphics card in a laptop, you won't be able to mine anything with that. In result, you're only gonna burn off your notebook.

The only way you can enter the altcoin GPU mining world is by buying an average CPU with a good PSU and GPU. Search a lot about the GPU before purchasing it, in this section of forums, you can find some good information about the mining specs of graphics card you'd like to purchase. You should have like ~$200 budget for the card BTW.
