I'm posting in this thread although my question is on a different, much, lower level than you guys are talking at.

I have access to a community PC which is configured with a 2GHz P4 CPU and 1GB of RAM (running ubuntu). Is it possible to do mining from such a meager platform? Obviously the background process would have to be limited so that other users could use the PC for browsing and writing stuff at the same time.

Or is this a definite non-starter?

If you plan on mining bitcoins on a P4 CPU forget it... if it has a PCI-E slot, and you put a GPU in there, maybe... but I have a feeling it'd most likely have an AGP slot...

Ah well... Undecided
