    Hi - Have this Alienware MX11 - spec below. I have it a few years and a bit clueless on spec - Would this run minecraft ok for me? Or what upgrade (if possible) would I need to do? Thanks in advance

    Not familiar with the Processor myself but with the recent updates to Minecraft you can enable VBOs, putting less of the work on your CPU and instead onto your GPU (if you have a discrete GPU) It SHOULD be able to run it. You can always download the demo and try it out. The rest of your build is more than suitable. It would only be the CPU I'd be concerned about.
