I have approximately 2.5-2.6 G/hashes between my systems.  I can reasonably expect to average 1.5ish BitCoins per day.  You would be lucky to get 0.5% of my hashrate, even with one of the best 4000 series video cards.  I don't intend to discourage you, but unless you have a 5700/6700 series or higher it's probably not worth the cost of electricity and you could expect to lose money in most places (depends on your electricity rates).

Righto! So hunting down a new card, it is then.

Thanks!

Would such cards stuck into a cheap system, such as a custom built Sempron, slow things down any? I mean, its the card alone that needs to do all the work, right?
