even if i dont have a chase account?

I'm looking to start buying bitcoins but I hear that the website dwolla has major delays to put the money into your mt.gox. So I was wondering what an alternative was and I would love some instructions on how to use this other website, I have a bank account with city bank and wanted to know if I could transfer money from right there

ive been looking at some mining programs but i didnt know which to get, also i would love a walk through of how to set it up.
thanks 

i have a dell xps computer with an ati mobility radeon hd 4670 graphics card, intel core i5 cpu m430 @ 2.27ghz. i looked online but i could not find out how # of mhash/m i would get if i set up my computer for mining.
thanks

i saw someone offering bitcoins for 1$ each, how would i buy them from him?

hey i just wanted to know what everyone thought the easiest way to get bitcoins was.
thanks
