A two year old video card can crunch numbers faster while using less power than a 2.8ghz Core i7 Quad.

Two things to check out that you can find on the bitcoin forums: pooled mining and GPU miners

With both of those, you can earn 1-2 BTC/day on an older video card.

Ah, ok this makes a lot more sense. Getting started with DiabloMiner and http://mining.bitcoin.cz now.

I don't use Bitcoin anymore (now that it's popular, I'm a cryptocurrency hipster), so I can send you the few BTC I have remaining if you want to play around with them. Just leave me an address. :)

Hey, much appreciated! Here's my special HN receiving address:

You have 5 BTC incoming once I catch up on crunching the block chain (I'm a few thousand blocks out of date) and there's a few confirmations. Have fun!

hey, I'd like to play around with them if you have some to spare! 18CsFA1WJh4zCMTPWoNcwmzfod9vrdZkNS

I only have 0.07 left, but you can have them (minus the 0.01 transaction fee). :)
