i have a little old computer with about 600MB of RAM. i was wondering what would be better for my computer to get if i want to play Minecraft better. Should i get an okay cheap Graphics card or more RAM memory?
to keep it cheap and simple, get any 4GB (2 x 2GB) RAM set. and a cheap graphics card (im assuming you are intel) go for any nVidia 500 series GPU that suits.
Im going to guess the computer is rather old which makes it quite hard to get upgrades for it. Seeing as it most likely can't use the newer components upgrading it might get quite expensive as many of the parts it likely uses have gone out of production.
Getting 2gb of ram should improve general performance greatly. How a upgrade of your graphics card would affect minecraft is hard to say. But in general upgrading the graphics card of such an old computer is not reccomanded unless you'r able to find a old affordable card for sale.
I would upgrade your cpu and motherboard before you jump to RAM and gpu upgrades. They probably won't help much if your cpu is already slow to begin with.

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.
