You're right, it's a bad idea because you're pretty much forced to mine with your CPU if you have integrated graphics, which can't mine for shit. I've an i5 3570k overclocked to 4.6ghz and I would be lucky to get a few megahashes/second, but with my 7870 I get a steady 410 megahashes/second Actually I've made $3 after less than 2 days of mining. Edited Thing is I only have been mining nightly, once school picks up I'll probably mine daily
