I've never mined electronic currency, so I'm not sure, but I would imagine that mining other coins would be just as taxing on the hardware.  But I've heard mining Bitcoin these days isn't as worth it as it used to be.  From what I've heard, it sounds like you have to do a lot of mining to earn just at little Bitcoin now, whereas initially, you used to earn a lot more bitcoin via mining (I could be wrong though).  The same could be true for other electronic currencies - If there's one that's a lot newer, perhaps it may be worth mining it.  But it seems like a gamble though..  You don't know if another currency will take off, and Bitcoin already has a long head start.
