Mining with an integrated Intel video card

[mattboston]

One of my spare machines is an AOpen MP57 which has an integrated Intel GM45 (Intel GMA X4500MHD) video.  The system is currently running Fedora 15 i386.  Does anyone know if it's possible to use this to mine?  And if so, which miner?  I've tried a number of them and they all seem to have issues compiling.

most likely not! that's pretty old and would be slow slow slow even if it work anyway....

Only the new Sandy Bridge intergrated graphic HD3000 or HD2000 MAY have a chance at GPU mining, if Intel ever decide to release the OpenCL driver for them, that's the main road block at this point I think

Any other options?  99% of the time this server sits idle.  It would be nice to take advantage of it.

joining a mining pool that pay per share and do CPU mining is an option.

yeah... that wouldnt be good as far as ive read
a (decent) GPU outperforms a (decent) CPU by a factor over 100
the CPU would be at 100% (or close to) load too, so the thing would be useless for everything else also

make the CPU miner run at idle priority, so its only using spare cycles to do mining then it won't affect anything,

also if you look up the OP's setup, seem like its one of those mini all in one design with no ability to use a discrete GPU, otherwise I would have suggested that.

Hi,

For me I have a Nvidia GeForce 8500 gt and get a whopping 2.2 Mhash/s ! I know crazy fast...

So if you have integrated video I would expect it to be about the same or less.

Let us know.

seem intel HD3000/HD2000 approach is similar to Nvidia... HD3000 have 12 EU/cores and HD2000 have 6 EU/cores

I would expect 3-6mhash at most when the OpenCL driver to come out
