Mining with an Intel C2D

[Gatewayuser]

I have an old dell precision 390, which does have an GPU, but it throws OpenCL errors left and right, even though XMRIG should work with my 1GB MSI AMD Radeon HD 7850, clocked at 666MHz, it litterraly runs at 666MHz on the GPU clock, and also on the memory clock, I am using allcoins's pool for my C2D, and should XMRIG work with my GPU? or not? CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 DUO e6700 @ 2.66GHz (2666MHz)

Im gonna be honest with you, this sounds incredibly wasteful and not profitable at all in any way. Does this system even break even with electricity cost and usage let alone profit? 

 

Most of those errors would be either OS, Drivers, or hardware related. Probably hardware since its an HD7850 and Duo e6700

even still, getting to break even mining is pretty hard these days. keep an sharp eye on power consumption!

I have an AMD K10 (athlon II dual core 935) and an Old ATOM x5 (1.40GHz)

Just checked whattomine.  The current breakdown for my 4090 is $1.14 cents a day and if I were to pay for electricity (I have solar) I would be LOSING 5 cents a day.

Wait, haven't you heard? mining is completely dead. fed and tradfi whales killed it after profiting for two whole years.

some alit coins are coming back and bc seems to be back to normal amount. eth at the same amount to. but that cant be mined  anymore.

Price is relative anyway.  If you make $1/day now but it is work $10 next bull market for example.  Unfortunately, that is lotto if you're going with no name coins.  I've found its easier to just buy and hold than deal with all the mining.
