Not sure what mistake you are doing wrong with your CPU mining. But to learn about mining any hardware is good. Instead of investing in a mining PC I would be looking at Butterfly labs new ASIC miners, supposively coming out next month.

You should be getting closer to 15 Mhps with a PhenomII x6 (if using all 6 cores).
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#AMD

That being said even 15 Mhps is worthless. 

CPU mining is dead.
GPU mining with NVIDIA GPUs is dead.
Hell GPU mining will likely be dead all together in 6-12 months (FPGA/ASICs).

I know you won't listen (no new miner does) but don't waste your time trying to mine with that hardware.

How can i configure it to get 15 Mhps?
I don't wanna make money with this crap Hardware.
I just wanna learn something about bitcoin mining.

I have enough money to invest for a mining PC (10k-20k Euro)
But i think it doesnt make sense to invest money if i don't even know hoe to mine efficiently.
You know what i mean?

Other question: Do you think it's a good idea to invest money in a mining PC? Does it pays off at the end?

This will not even pay for the energy you are using. Better look at some mining stocks on GLBSE...

Hey,

I am new with bitcoins

I wanna start mining bitcoins but i failed to configure phoenox or other mining software.
So i found this easy tool to mine bitcoins: https://bitminter.com

But i think i do something wrong.
I have a AMD PhenomII x6 1090T CPU 6x3.2Ghz

But i only get 0.10-0.30 Mhps with this CPU. Is this normal? Its only 0.0001 Bitcoins per day

I don't have a good GPU. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 but it's not showed in the BitMiner Client.
Is it too bad for mining bitcoins? or why is it not showed in the tool?
