More dodgy calcs follow...
If 57 Mhashes/sec can earn 0.06392876 BTC in 12h or 0.12785752 BTC in 24,
1340 Mhashes/sec should be capable of earning 3.00 BTC or about $74/day at current rates ($24.72/BTC)
1670 Mhashes/sec = 3.74 BTC = ~$92/day
The second URL has some interesting warnings. Will be interesting to see what happens in 2012 when the reward for solving a block halves from 50BTC to 25BTC... and if someone brings out a custom chip in the meantime, rendering the GPU solution half obsolete.
