ive installed sdk amd application. now ive got an intel core duo device in gu, but i've got still the same problem.
how can i connect guiminer with namecoin?

Can you post your bitcoin.conf?

What kind of GPU do you have?

If you're CPU mining with that core duo, check out ufasoft: http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=3486.0

Ufasoft seemed to perform best back when I was CPU mining, I haven't used it in a long time though so there may be something better out there.

You can also just mine in a pool like mining BTC.  That way you don't have to change anything, or run local servers.

For a pool that will let you mine whichever you want.
