Hi All,

I would like to utilize ideal computer of my office and since I am noob in mining I don't want to buy any additional hardware.

My office PC configuration -  Intel P4 - 2 GB Ram - 2.66 GHZ CPU - Windows 7

I know this pc is worth donating only but would like to try new coins.

Which alt coin is good to mine that has no additional benefit for GPU etc.. No matter even if coin is brand new.

Please advice me Coin, Miner & Pool and tutorial link (if there is any) to get started.

Thanks in Advance.

The only CPU coin I know is Riecoin, and I would guess it would be far from being profitable with a Pentium 4  Cheesy

I think that with your CPU doesn't worth even trying to mine.
But don't trust my words, try for yourself. Pick a coin, pick a miner, mine for a couple of minutes and see on the pool - especially those for CN coins have a calculator on the page, to make an estimation.

Your CPU is a 32 bit antique, forget about it. If you want to experiment with CPU minng use a CPU with, at least,
AES_NI (Intel core-i).
