Yes, I am positive about that. Ask him to login to his pool and see his shares/rejects. He is just burning out his CPU for no reason.

Second question depends on the coin.

Someone I know told he has getting 500 Khash/sec speed almost constantly mining cpu based coins like datacoin,primecoin etc from his Intel Core i7 950 processor.

Now from the litecoin mining hardware comparison page we can see core i7 920 generating 41 khash only.I compared core i7 920 and core i7 950 side by side,they have the same specifications.

They are both same so how can the 950 generate so much more hashes.Can it be real?Looking forward to hear from users who are running core i7 950 cpu.
a CPU running that fast is doing one thing - erroring out, plain and simple. Your friend is an idiot and is going to burn out his CPU with 0 shares.

Can QRK be GPU mined ?

when im mining quark etc. I get around 750 kh/s on my overclocked I5 2500k

How much can we get with a 7950 in quark mining?

Best CPU I can find in scrypt mining, is around 120 kh/s

Datacoin is also measured in khash/sec, only the algo is different from Bitcoin (Primecoin algo). You cannot compare the hashrates of coins that use different algos (e.g. Bitcoin vs Litecoin hashrate is comparing apples to oranges).

Primecoin and Datacoin are not measured in kh/s
