Just know that if you try solo mining for 2 weeks and switch to pool mining, you walk away with nothing.

I agree, but with reservation. Don't forget there can be huge variances. Look at deepbit, they have 2250Gigahash/second[/u] and they still hit block times of 2.5 hours. In theory with 281 times less processing power you could see 281 times as long to break a block (or in other words a month+). Soloing is something more people should do, but it bears the unfortunate downside of potentially being a very painful thing to wait and watch.

when i must change to solo mining?

There's no strict rule.

As a general guideline, if you can find a block in less than two weeks on average, you should probably mine solo.

If you're asking whether pooled mining or solo mining is better, in your case you could probably pull off solo mining for a while but your payouts will be large and sporadic vs. small and predictable.

My friends and I have the posibility to mining an entire block with (aprox) 6000~7000 Mhash, its better this way or create an account with many workers as possible?

thanks in advance
