OK, SiSoftware Sandra tells me that the GPU is a 4850, but I still keep seeing jumps of between 600 to 800 mh/s, although I'm getting a more appropriate figure (about 64mh/s ave) more often now. Could there be a reason for these spikes? Or should I just assume it's a display or calculation error and proceed as normal?
Can you post what's the settings you used for GUIMiner? Are you using the polcbm miner or the phoenix miner?I would recommend you to use CGMiner (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-cgminer-mining-software-thread-for-linuxwinosxmipsarmr-pi-4110-28402) as GUIMiner is phased out, and lack the newest updates. CGMiner comes with rich features like automatic temp monitoring and self-overclocking.

OK, I'm brand new to the idea of bitcoin, but I understand roughly how it works. I do however, have a slight problem with GUIMiner.

When I utilise my GPU, (ATI Radeon 4800) I get an average of about 820 mhash/s, but I have 15 shares after running it overnight. The results appear fairly decent on bitcoin.cz, I have no problem.
However, when I tried my CPU (Intel Celeron E1200 @ 1.6 Ghz (don't laugh I know it's shit)) I get the same average, but no shares, no profit, nada, nothing. Affinity is to both cores, ran overnight, on a seperate account, as per. Is that something I should worry about? I have three more PC's that are waiting for miner installation and long-term mining sessions, all with the same specs, but it's not going to be worth it if I make 1 BC a day.
System:
Win7 Ultimate
3 GB Ram
Celeron e1200 @ 1.6ghz
ATI Radeon 4800 PCI
FoxConn 45CMX-K
My CPU Revision oddly appears as 15.15 when all the other models I've seen are named 15.13, I think I have a line test model or something like that, otherwise, It's a pretty decent, but standard PC.
Connection:
Latency: 73<>190 ms
Bandwidth: 3.1<>7.2 mbps (mobile broadband)
Between modem + PC: 12.9Mbps (ave)
For starters, there is no card like 'ATI Radeon 4800'. You're either using one of them:(I will move this topic as soon as the restrictions are removed)

And next, no 4 series card would do remotely 200 mh/s , yet alone 820 mh/s. The 15 shares being accepted is speaking things, a 800 mh/s rig would do 15 shares in approximately 20 seconds. Read: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison for the speeds you're going to expect.
Even if you're running core i7 extreme edition, you'll only do like 8-10 mh/s and rack up the electricity bill without a significant amount of bitcoins generated. No CPU is good for bitcoin mining anymore.
