awesome. i get my financial aide check soon so i'll be putting 500 USD and exchanging for BTC. anyway you'll give me a loan of a couple BTC? honestly, i wanna put it in .08/share BLTSE stock and let it sit for a month. whatever you loan, i will pay back in double (up to 5BTC) in 30 days time of transaction.
well, there is always newegg.com
but seriously, most people are dumping GPUs for ASICs now so there are tons of cards cheap in the marketplace forum

i have enough space for inserting 2 of these cards. can you direct me to a highly reputable seller of these cards?
Wow, OK...
The expansion slots on your motherboard, those deals where you can plug in a sound card, or network card or whatever...back in the day they used to be PCI (actually before that was the ISA bus but I digress) PCIe stands for "Peripheral Component Interconnect Express" and actually what you are checking for are more specifically PCIe x16 slots that will support video cards.
They look like this
but the plastic part doesn't have to be black, it can be any color.
While you have the cover off also measure how much room you have between the slots in the back of the case where the cards screw in and your drive bays, these cards are almost a foot long. Also, be careful in there. Shut the computer off and unplug it first and don't touch shit you don't have to.

idk how to check PCIe, could you explain?
750 watts
750 watts
I am running 3 of them and it is right at 1 Gh/s actual performance in the pool
so about 330-340 Mh/s per card.
How many PCIe slots in your motherboard? How many Watts in your PSU?

how much would they increase my hash/s?
its a 6950
I have seen them going for under 200 now that the 7000 series are out, try craigslist or the marketplace forum here

im fully self sufficient on the weed. my mining isnt the only thing adding to the power bill, savvy? But yea, how much is that 8950?
yeah skip a couple bags, pop open your case, find this
and replace with this
and replace with this
is there anything else i can do to increase my mining more with what i have?
Not by much. You can optimize it with certain parameters depending on what miner you are using.
My suggestion would be to save on the herb and put that money toward an okay graphics card or an entry level FPGA device.

desktop
laptop or desktop?
careful man, you'll push the difficulty up with that monster
haha it's gonna be a rough road. but i dont have class tomorrow so i will most likely just smoke a little herb and work on increasing my capabilities...
Is there anyway to upgrade your graphics card for free?

WOOOOOT MINING AT 19 Mhash/s. And it only gets better from here folks.
Last questions:
1. Could i upgrade my graphics driver for free?
2. In specific details, how do i switch from CPU mining to GPU mining and enable openCL?
3. Can i use guiminer to do this?

No need to pay us for these suggestions! And well, as i said with your computer you can't mine a lot.
But still it's highly appreciated and as i plan on investing a lot of USD into bitcoins... yes you all will be payed back. in fact, im gonna try the suggestions you guys have given now, and if they increase my speed, i'll lock this thread and watch it so when i am able to pay you guys back, i can get you BTC address. I'm very serious. Why wouldnt you guys deserve a little BTC. I only have .0001642BTC but when i upgrade and get a rig within the next 2 months, you all will get payed. for now, im mining with my measly graphics card for measly .000000012 BTC a day haha
SOON.
