don't bother with that "generate coins" button in the official client, it's built-in CPU miner, with CPU mining it will take you at least year or few to solve a block and will cost you more in electricity. same applies for Nvidia cards, they are faster than CPUs but relativity slow compared with ATI Radeons. that "generate coins" button will be gone in next upcoming version of the client.
there are separate miner software which can utilize your GPU and connect to pool of your choice, most of them command-line based. there is one called GUIminer which is windows based, very easy to use
