Mining software: pooler-cpuminer-2.2.3 CPU1: Intel Pentium 4 Northwood @2.8 GHz: 1.5 khash/s CPU2: Intel Pentium 4 Prescott @3.6 GHz: 3.0 khash/s (1.5 khash/s per thread)
Rather strangely, when mining in sha256d mode for Bitcoin or other alt coins, the Northwood is slightly faster. CPU1: Intel Pentium 4 Northwood @2.8 GHz: 1355 khash/s CPU2: Intel Pentium 4 Prescott @3.6 GHz: 1300 khash/s (650 khash/s per thread)
Conclusion: Mining on a CPU is fun, but a waste of money, although I did run BOINC and other Distributed Computing projects for many years without any reward. I dread to think how much electricity I used!
