80 ghash/s, you wish !
Would a CPU *ever* earn any Bitcoin rewards anymore? It might not be worth it in terms of cost of electricity but can we expect a CPU to ever get lucky?
That configuration is more like a server than a normal computer.
However to agree with Gabi, it's not really powerful to be worth Bitcoin mining on.
CPU and GPU mining is overall not advisable any more, with FPGA and ASIC being more normal.
CPU mining is slow is considered slow, it's not really worth doing
GPU Mining on Nvidia Cards, can be done, but it is generally a lot faster on ATI cards (Different design approach happens to be better).
I can't speak for popular Alt-coins like Litecoin, maybe that would be better suited for this setup.
I know they are very Memory intensive and are still in an era where GPU use is normal.
A setup like yours, is over kill for a Mining rig, but Litecoin instead of Bitcoin mining would be a better direction.

Hi!
If you want to mine bitcoins it's recommended to use a ATI card instead of a Nvidia card
I'm using a XFX Radeon HD6570 DDR3 card and gets around 80GHash/sec!
or is it MHash/sec?

i'm sorry but no. CPU mining is useless. As for GPU, well, you have nvidia cards wich are not good for mining. Sure, your system is powerful and good at gaming and other things but not for mining
All,
While I wait to be be-noobed and able to post elsewhere, I did have a question I was hoping some of my compatriots on this board could answer.
I have a beast of a system - do you think it will be able to do a decent job of mining?
Dual Xeon E5-2660
256GB DDR3-1066R ECC RAM
Dual Nvidia GTX550Ti (2GB) video cards (not SLI)
At the moment, I am trying out GUIminer under Windows 8 Enterprise, and getting around 50Mhash/s.
I look forward to your advice and input!
