I should also tell you that ASICs are starting to be developed and GPU mining is soon to be obsolete for bitcoin mining. The difficulty will nearly doubly which will effectively push out any low level machine that is getting under 100Mh/s
At this point it is too late in the market to seriously get into bit coin mining unless you want to spend the money on an ASIC
However, there is an alternative!
LTC, LiteCoins are another currency which can be mined by GPUs but NOT ASICs, atleast the ASICS that are about to be shipped out the door from places like Butterfly labs.
Hope this all helps.

I'm also new to mining and all that jargon have me confused.
Nevertheless to say, I am using an HP Pavilion DV73186CL Notebook being this as the client computer. CPU/GPU/RAM and whatsoever are all stock.
I don't keep it on 24/7 due to overheating concerns

Well there isn't much you can do in the line of modifications to a Notebook for Bitcoin Mining. With that sort of set up you are stuck at what you are currently getting.
If you are serious about mining and are wanting a return you should check out the listings that are kept on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_rig they hold cost and effectiveness breakdowns on machines. The best bet for mining bitcoins seriously is building a desktop from the ground up with the specifications listed there.
Best of luck!

Is there anyway he can use both his gpu's they show up on the list 0-1, 0-0. Idk if you can only use one at a time or not.
also what about the check boxes for the cpu? is mining to difficult for the cpu to be worth anything anymore?
The CPU Affinity refers to how many cores were being dedicated to mining. CPU mining has become pretty much obsolete now that the difficulty is so high. GPU mining has completely done away with CPU mining. You can use more than one card if you crossfire them, however I don't think you can use a PCI-E card with an Integrated card. also what about the check boxes for the cpu? is mining to difficult for the cpu to be worth anything anymore?
However, if your cards are properly cooled, IE hovering around 60 degrees celsius and they are used solely for mining, so you're not trying to run BF3 on Ultra then you might want to overclock your cards. I advise you though you should monitor your heat output if you start to do this. While it will turn up your Mh/s if your temp rises above 80 degress Celsius damage can be done to your card.
EDIT: For instructions on Overclocking your card see " http://www.ehow.com/how_7450187_overclock-nvidia-quadro-nvs.html "

My roommate and I recently started mining bitcoins through slush's pool, neither of us have any clue really what we are doing but are really eager to learn.
I'm running a core2duo and nvidia quadro 600 and run at about 16.4Mh/s
My roommate however is running an Intel 6 core and integrated amd and nvidia quadro 600.
Now the issue is he pulls the exact same Mh/s rate that I do, but there is no way my computing power should be able to keep up with his,
my pc is atleast 5 years older.
Any help would greatly be appreciated also I will continue to search for an answer to this question on the forums!
You're bothing mining with the same GPU, and 17 Mh/s is the average rate for a standard clock Nvidia Quadro 600. CPU chipset doesn't really matter if you aren't using it for mining.I'm running a core2duo and nvidia quadro 600 and run at about 16.4Mh/s
My roommate however is running an Intel 6 core and integrated amd and nvidia quadro 600.

Basically,
Same GPU +
Same Power +
Same Clock +
= Same Mh/s
