I know this is an old post, well sort of. not very old though but it is important o leave a note here for future visits of bitcoin supporters.
Well it is not always abut mining.
If you want to support bitcoin here is a list of what can be done in an ascending priority according to its importance and contribution to bitcoin cause (well up to my knowledge):
1) Leave your CPU running 24/7 while running the bitcoin client, not mining just running the client.
2) Buy some bitcoins and spend them in something you need. Even better do it on a a regular basis for let us say your weekly/monthly grocery .. etc.
3) Buy some bitcoins and hoard them as long as you do not need their value.
4) Transfer a portion of your long term investment (like retirement plan money) into bitcoins instead of gold or banks.
And Finally,
5) Cut a percentage of your weekly, monthly or whatever pay check to buy bitcoins as a long term investment (Hoarding)!.
This would Spread the currency and maximize its value.
Of course order might be different here for some other opinions, specially about hoarding, but again it is both about spreading teh currency as well as maximizing the demand (need) for it.
Couple hundred million users like that and !!
Wollah! Bitcoin is major world-class currency.!
And for GPU miners you can always use bitcoin GPU mining as a heating system
