I know I'm cpu mining but its my first attempt and since I don't have anything other than a integrated gpu. So back to question will I mi e quicker with open cl it makes life easier cause I don't need command prompt.

Btw I get 2mhash/s which I'm guessing is ok for a Cpu.

You would be earning less than BTC0.00005 a day at the current difficulty. If you are wanting to test it out just to see how it works, by all means do whatever you think you can learn from. But it would be highly unwise to do this for any extended amount of time as you will be paying way more in electricity than you would be earning. As well as shortening the life of your pc.
There may be some alt coins you could look into that rely more on cpu mining, but I have not looked too much into the other ones yet so you would need to do your own research.

OpenCL CPU minining doesn't make much sense for Bitcoin mining. OpenCL isn't optimized for your CPU and there is also a lot of OpenCL platfrom overhead. I've build an optimized pooler cpu miner for my Trinity APU and it gives me about 20 MHash/s running with 4 Threads on my A10-5800K. But running a OpenCL miner like cgminer or bfgminer on the integrated GPU gives about 114 Mhash/s - so it's not worth it if you have any AMD GPU above HD4xxx, or a top range NVIDIA or Intel GPU. For Litecoin CPU mining is still ok, if you have a few computer that you could mine with. For Litecoin mining I get about 30 kHash/s with that optimized cpuminer. Thats's not much, but if you have 3 or 4 simple office PCs, then you can still make some Litecoins with mining on the CPU with an optimized miner.
