Hi all, getting a new (well second hand) laptop soon, and am dying to be able to play Minecraft on this one so am just wondering what the system requirments would be? Cheers

What's "inecraft" :pac:

Anyways if you download and run this little utility Speccy, it'll tell you what you have installed by the way of RAM\processor and graphics card.

CPU 3GHz Dual core
RAM 2GB
GPU AMD 4000 or Nvida equivalent

Hey guys. I am currently using my laptop to play. If i was to buy a desktop what spec should i be looking for. ATM I am getting a lot of lag.

Also how good would an iMac be at running it

Spec:

21.5-inch: 2.5GHz
2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
1920 x 1080 resolution
4GB (two 2GB) memory
500GB hard drive1
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB

Or the Mac Mini

2.3GHz : 500GB
2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
2GB memory
500GB hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
OS X Lion

The desktop would outperform the Mac Mini Tenfold. Stuttering wouldn't be an issue on that machine

Thanks so much for the reply. I am a complete noob when it comes to pc.

How would this OR This compare.

Sorry if these are stupid questions. I just want to get the right thing.

Thanks in advance

Is this for other games as well? Or just MC?

MC gobbles up CPU power but is not threaded so a CPU with few, fast cores is a much better plan than one with lots of slower ones. After all, MC will only use the one core, maybe two with Rei's Minimap set to utilize other cores. So a slow Llano Athlon really isn't that good unless you want to run other stuff that's threaded, and even then an i3 is still better for most things

If anything, the most important thing for MC is a decent web connection to avoid lag and stuttering. And if its the server itself that's throwing a wobbly there's eff-all you can do about it

Just minecraft really. You lost me at single core...ha. If you had a choice which one would you choose for just minecraft. My web connection is good 24mb down and a decent up.

By the by thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate any feedback.
