is it that profitable ?
now if you want the ultimate scrypt-jane high factor experience... install linux, it is well known the hashrate is much higher on linuex

That's mostly because the video memory usage is limited to 88% on windows by default:

Code: (cpu-miner.c)
#if WIN32
        device_backoff[thr_id] = 12;
        #else
        device_backoff[thr_id] = 2;
        #endif

Which is only necessary if you're mining on your primary card.
But my windows vista gets 3.6 kh/s and windows 8.1 gets 2.3 kh/s. Its driving me crazy why.   Shocked
