I'm wondering why people are not using Sapp 6790 for mining. It uses 150W for 220 Mhash/sec for $130. Could someone please tell me why this isn't a good mining gpu.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Its not only dollars per hash/s its also how many slots available on the motherboard and wanting to maximize your output. That being said, the 6790 isn't bad.
