I need help with Bitcoin mining.

However, it is Nvidia.  You really can't mine with Nvidia.  The best one is AMD

CUDA mining.  make use of the gigantic amounts of CUDA cores in Nvidia cards.

suck on those nipples AMD

I'm going to go ahead and say this right now, but your card is stuff and mining with your CPU would even be better. Your card will never support OpenCL as it is from a 2006-ish series.
You will never efficiently mine bitcoins with your computer. Don't even try.

AMD is still better.  
CUDA only runs on NVIDIA cards, and as said tons of times before AMD is better than NVIDIA at bit coin mining.  Open CL is better at int arithmetic, unlike CUDA which is slower than that.  It also requires much more power, and because of this you most likely wouldn't make more money, but much rather lose money.

...what the forget do you need to waste GPU processing power on in order to 'mine' something that does not even physically exist in the conventional sense?

Bitcoin mining is so strange imo

Its pretty much making your GPU go through tons of graphical algorithms that are ridiculously hard. 

[devildogelite]

It's doing tons of equations so bitcoins can be  released at a set amount. It all pretty simple.

What the hell is Bitcon mining???

Unless you're taking about investing into nvidia cards to begin with, there's no loss of money.  If you're investing into mining to begin with, you may want to get your head checked.

Was it really that hard?


Also, nForce is a integrated GPU. You can't do anything, Deoxys.


You know, Bitcoin mining is heavily ironic. Give the rich more money and leave the poor without even the ability to make that money. Bitcoin is the virtual government.

You can benefit if you join a pool. Like me for instance, I am Mining for the sole purpose of helping the Tek Syndicate community. If I keep my current mining rate, they will send me a 7970 so I can mine more, faster. Or you could just join a pool that takes the earnings and distributes it evenly among it members. At this point in the BitCoins lifespan, the only real way you could benefit by yourself would to get 4x 7970s and run them 24/7. Or try LiteCoin which I heard is more beneficial for single miners.

[aludane]

I recommend you read this, it's very interesting and details how most people use ASIC chips or FPGA boards who are serious about mining.

I'll just try CPU mining. I also have no mining hardware at all.

if you want to mine with your CPU, mine Litecoins instead of Bitcoins

[Deoxys And One Noob]

Is this computer a good Litecoin miner?
