Ok, to put it simply im having horrible lag in minecraft.
I have 2gb of ram, pretty low, but still should be enough it think.
I have installed optifine and changed all the vid settings to the lowest possible.
I dont play in big worlds or with too many mobs.
And still, minecraft is simply umplayable. Is there a way to make it faster? or i just have to buy a better computer with 6gb ram to run it with low lag?
My Computer Specs are: Tablet Laptop PC, Windows XP Pro SP3, 1.20 GHz Intel Mobile Centrino CPU, and 2GHz of RAM.
My Minecraft Settings are: OpenGL: NO (works okay for powerhouse computers, not so great for older machines with fewer resources), Render Distance: SHORT (Normal is okay, but Short is better if you have a world Seed that has things like big hills and lots of things to render), Particles: MINIMAL.
With those settings and after trimming down any and all extraneous background computer processes (and things like iTunes, Zune, and Adobe always give you extraneous processes, but don't touch them if you have no idea what you're doing and how to fix it if things break), I can get between 10-20 FPS which then sometimes lags down to around 8 FPS if I am rendering a new area in a pre-existing world or a new world Seed entirely or if a Creeper is about to explode.
Despite the lower FPS, I actually don't consider myself to be experiencing many Minecraft problems besides the general issue of negotiable lag (and to me, it's negotiable because my movements are still pretty smooth and it isn't jerky) and that Inventory glitch issue and the game is fully playable for me. Oddly, despite the general lag, I seem to experience fewer problems than a lot of the people who have 'better' machines.
Then again, I have optimized my machine without adding any Minecraft-related mods or add-ons to give Minecraft - and other resource-heavy applications - what it needs and no more and no less.
You - like me - have an older machine and you ARE going to experience lower FPS and some lagging and that is the simple truth.
Now, if you're lagging to the point of 2-4 FPS, we REALLY have a problem because even at my worse, I don't lag like that. Related to that, how badly ARE you lagging? What are your general FPS and what lag-related issues are you experiencing?
You can't completely fix the lag, but you can perhaps optimize your Minecraft game and computer settings to improve it.

They are right to fear!
