It seems you're really new to bitcoin mining.
Right now, there are two routes :
1. Bitcoin route :
ASIC, pre-order only for now. Will be released in October according to BFL
4 GH/s $149
40 GH/s $1200
1 TH/s $30,000

FPGA (will be obsolete in October)
Mod Miner Quad, 800 MH/s, 80 W, $1069
BFL Single 800 MH/s, 40W, $600

GPU (will be obsolete in October)
Speed varies between 212-685 MH/s, watt consumption is high.

2. Litecoin route :
GPU
Depends on the model, varies between $100 - $400

Oh.. that's disappointing... thanks for your quick reply though...

What about Mobility Radeon HD 4500/5100 Series in my laptop?

Mining on Laptop isn't really recommended, since the speed isn't worth it (you get 50% discount speed compared to desktop version).
Last time I mined on my laptop it instantly shut down because of overheat.
I can't find 51xx series in the wiki.

4570 Mobile : 9.6 MH/s
5870 Mobile : 189.2 MH/s
5870 Desktop : 313 MH/s

AMD APP SDK is for AMD card (Radeon HD 7970, 6990,...)
You need Nvidia's driver, but it's pointless since with 8400 GS you can only get 2.3 MH/s.
Even if you have 150 computers that use NVIDIA 8400 GS under your control, you can beat it with just one Radeon HD 5850 (350 MH/s).

I think I successfully installed the AMD APP SDK (version 2.7) i rebooted the machine and than tried to run...

Code:

CFLAGS="-02 -Wall -march=native"  ./configure

...I get this configure error:

Code:

Configuration Options Summary:
     
 curses.TUI...........: FOUND: ncurses
 OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED
 configure: error: No mining configured in

I have Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit and GeForce 8400 GS graphics card. CGMiner version is 2.5.0.

Please help...
