hey all i just started to mine bitcoins 3 days ago, i have a 5870 lying around so that is what i am using. my mhash speed is 400ish, i was just wondering if this was a good speed? i am also hashing with btc guild....but i have only made 0.1 of a bitcoin? does it take a long time just to make 1 coin?



thanks.

Here is a calculator to help you out. http://98.200.247.249:81/btc_calc.php

Also here is a hardware comparison guide https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Also you may wanna try finding a smaller pool. Smaller pools are slower but bigger payout per block found.
