Tigerdroppings Bitcoin Mining Team

I'm still looking into this stuff, but I am officially mining bitcoins! I created a mining team on BTCguild.com, and I am extended the invitation to my TD.com PC brethrens.
I'm using GUIMiner, but I think I'm going to change it since I can't figure out how to run both of my 7950s at the same time.

How to use GUIMiner
Join the Mining team "Tigerdroppings" and the pin number is 9876.
I currently have my 7950 downclocked to 900/1100 and I have about 400 MH/s. If I could get both of my 7950s to run I could be pushing 700 to 800.
Edit: I got both of my cards to run now
They are each running independent of each other at 420 MH/s
Edit 2: Well I'm going to my bottom card only because my top cards gets too hot. I OC'd my bottom card to 1100/1400 and it runs at max 68C

At this point the proof-of-work diffulculty has changed so much that the cost of running your machine all day probably won't offset what you make. Plenty of people with way more than just a gaming computer have bailed since the last increase.
Others are just sitting around waiting on ASIC miners to be released which will no doubt be the final nail in the coffin for GPU mining.
I mined for a while and I think you would be better off just joining some of the survey for bitcoin sites at this point. They also have some bitcoin for watching video sites.
ETA: I just read where some people already have ASIC miners just not the ones from Butterfly labs. The proof-of-work diffulculty will increase so rapidly that I really don't see how any GPU mining group will be able to justify competing.
