I have an old Dell OptiPlex 745 with a ATI Radeon X1300 video card. I also have a Bitmain Antminer U2. I am running Ubuntu 13.04. With my current hardware and OS, I'd like to set up a mining rig with both these processors running at the same time. Unfortunately I am unsure what pieces of mining software I should install and use, and how to program it. Can someone help me with this?
I would recommend using bfgminer and use these setting ' antminer:clock=x0881". These settings get me a stable 2gh/s on my U2's.
I would recommend joining a pool, you could solo mine, but it would be like winning the lottery. A quick google search will bring up some mining pools.
Also, you need to get yourself a wallet to store your bitcoins in. I use electrum wallet, it seems to be pretty good. Once
you start gaining some BTC, make sure you look into how to store your coins properly so that way someone doesnt try and steal your coins.
There are plenty of guides on how to safely store your coins.

Use cgminer or bfgminer for the U2, and don't use the onboard graphics card, it will do nothing besides blowing up your PC.
