I have been having this unexplained lag when playing on my server with my brother. I can play up to 3-10 minutes with about 20-70 fps, but then ends up with it taking 10 seconds to show 1 FREAKIN FRAME! It is sorta like -100 fps or something like that.

I am forced to leave Minecraft and rejoin the server to play 5 more minutes until it megalags again!

Someone please tell me what is happening!

You should always wait a year or so before getting a new operating system. Stick with Windows 7 for some time. Only about 10 months left.

My computer came with WIndows 8 and my dad doesn't want to buy Windows 7 for it.

Id rather have Windows 7 rather than 8.

I understand your computer came with Windows 8, do you have a Windows 7 still? If so, get it out of that dusty box and use it,

All my computers came with WIndows 7 and my dad never actually bought it. My dad has Windows XP though. Heck no I don't wanna use that! Plus, on my crappy laptop with 1 gb of RAM and a Standard VGA video card and is 12 years old just got Windows XP on it and it won't go on the internet anymore!

Edit: Nice supercharged Creeper you got there!

Avoid Windows XP for Minecraft. XPs are too old. Mine started dying 3 years ago because of melted dust going onto the CPU fan. I think you're out of luck with you not having Windows 7. Sorry, I can't really give you further help.

Edit: Thanks!

Make sure that you are running 64bit Java.

I feel for you. I had to work very hard to get Dell to sell me that computer with Windows 7. Once Win 8 came out they made it extremely difficult, but not completely impossible.
