Since he can't post in this forum yet, I figured I'd create a post for him linking to his post in the Newbie Forum.
Perhaps someone with knowledge about mining hardware can assist him?
I had some questions about m/hash, and energy usage, ATi Radeon HD 5700, OS windows 7, and I'm clocking in at 130 m/hash. I thought maybe a downgrade to xp might help improve performance, or perhaps I just need a new graphics card, if that's the case any suggestion for a low energy mining card? And what else can do to improve my m/hash rate and what determines m/hash rates?
