This was pretty easy to setup when other guides have been very confusing. Thank you so much. Now, I have a hardware question. Do you think I could upgrade my graphics cards from my sony Vaio laptop? Is it possible and even worth it? Just wondering because I want to get more serious.
Most laptops (I can't think of a single one that doesn't) don't have upgrade able GPUs, and if they did, it would not be worth it as it would be integrated.

Now, I know that for solo mining bitcoins it basically isn't worth it without ASIC, but what about with litecoins? How many KHash/s should I have to effectively solo mine?
I would suggest around 10,000 kH/s to solomine effectively, although many people with 30+ mH/s still pool mine. :\
