Everyone else having issues with HD 6950: you have to wait for a newer driver (>10.6) or switch to linux ;)
AMD is working on it...

And then about namecoin. For some reason i did not find a usable guide how to set it up on windows/or requirements for it. I installed it and when i try "namecoind.exe getnewaddress" i get:
C:\Users\... ...\namecoin_win32>namecoind.exe getnewaddress
error: couldn't connect to server
You need to start namecoind before you can send commands to it... Just run namecoind.exe in a command prompt and leave it running.

1)  Can't help, don't run Windows.
2)  Why are you mining Namecoin?  Just making sure you know why you're doing it.

Since there is this newbie restriction please help me here.

First about bitcoin miners. I'm using a guiminer and everytime i try to load video or some webpage loads a video while the miner is on it crashes. No matter what i set fror the -f or -w value for. Any workarounds for this? I would like to us the power of my oc'd 6950 while watching movies etc.

And then about namecoin. For some reason i did not find a usable guide how to set it up on windows/or requirements for it. I installed it and when i try "namecoind.exe getnewaddress" i get:
C:\Users\... ...\namecoin_win32>namecoind.exe getnewaddress
error: couldn't connect to server

I am behind NAT and some firewall that i have no access to. Any way to get it working?

1) Disable hardware acceleration. On the video, right click > Settings > Untick.

2) Doubt it.
