I'm reformating this old HP Pavilion zd8000 I have lying around, and I'm wondering if these specs can support singleplayer Minecraft.
GPU - ATI Mobility Radeon X600
CPU - Intel Pentinum 4 CPU 2.80GHZ
Ram -512 Mb
I'm leaning towards not playable at all, but I want to know If I'll be able to use this laptop for much more than web browsing.
Minecraft v1.3_01 works really well on my HP Pavilion zd8000 with the same specs as yours (and Windows XP) EXCEPT I upgraded my RAM and it now has 2.5gb. I play on Fancy & Normal draw distance. Before I upgraded the RAM, it had 1gb and playing was OK, sorta. It would slow down at times and I wasn't really happy with it. Now I can't believe how smooth it is. I'm surprised how well the Radeon X600 (256mb) runs this game.
