So here's the situation,
My friend has an old crappy Dell OptiPlex PC running windows XP, and he wants me to upgrade it.
Currently the specs are: Intel Pentium D processor, 2Gb DDR2 ram, and some crappy integrated GPU.
I was wonder, is it worth upgrading it? He's insanely low on money, so the upgrade budget is only about $60.
I was planning on adding a 2 more Gbs of ram, and a Nvidia GT 220. Will it be able to run minecraft well?
Keep in mind right now with the terrible gpu, it's running minecraft with optifine at about 20-30 Fps.
Will the upgrades help? He wants to be able to get at least 40 Fps on fast and normal render distance with optifine.
Also if I put in my GT 640 and 6gb of ram, will he be able to record using Millaris Action?
Thanks
Well, The problem is he can't afford a decent computer for at least a year or 2.
I've seen some YouTube demos of the nvidia GT 220 running minecraft pretty well, all my friend wants is to get at least 50 Fps, as he only gets about 25 right now. Either he upgrades, or he doesn't get a computer for a long time.
