You might have luck with altcoins. I've heard monero has a CPU-friendly algorithm--but you still won't make a significant amount of money. Maybe a dollar a day if you find a good coin, it's probably not worth the effort.

Not for bitcoin mining. This infographic is one I made about GPU mining, and cpu mining is much slower and less efficient.

I have a few decent computers running win 7 at work and are on and internet connected 24/7/365. One runs cmm software that is gpu heavy, is it possible to run a cpu miner with a front-end windowed or in the background? It is a quad-core xeon machine that is idle 99% of the time and figured i would use it's power for something. Would it be possible to gain any shares at all on a pool?
