I have 2 CPU's and RAM I can get up and running if I just get a motherboard for them. Efficiency is no concern since I can run it on free electric in a dorm room soon.

Here are my 2 options.
Q6600 (2.4 ghz Intel Quad Core)
i7-930 (2.8 ghz)

In regards to the i7. I would need to get a minimal amount of RAM as well as a motherboard. With the Q6600 I only need a motherboard.

How much XMR would I be able to make a month with either of these?

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

I have a pretty similar I7 and, since it's an old CPU with no AES support you'll get around 65H/s. I don't mine much with it lately and the income depends on difficulty, but you'll get under 1 XMR / month with it.

Maybe 0.5 XMR is a close call.

About the quad core I don't know, maybe others can ...
