Hi. I need help please. I would appreciate it if you could help me figure out why my minecraft lags so much even if I have 8GB of ram on my laptop. I have already configured on MInecraft how much ram it should use (i put 7gb) but it still lags and it doesn't run smoothly. Maybe its my possessor or something else. I don't know much about computers and I was wondering if you could tell me a solution or why my computer lags so much. The most FPS i get is 20. Thanks
Having that much RAM is not going to help Minecraft. If Minecraft actually tried to use that much RAM, it is performance would absolutely tank because Windows would move some data from RAM to its page file. The page file is stored on your hard drive and is dramatically slower than RAM. If you hit F3, you can see how much RAM Minecraft is currently using. You are most likely going to see that it is only using a little under half a gig. You should decrease the allotted RAM size back to the default of 1 GB. This might actually increase system performance.
As far as getting Minecraft to run faster, the first thing I would try is installing OptiFine and setting it to multicore chunk loading. That should improve performance and is good place to start. http://www.minecraft...-and-much-more/

Do you have two Java processes running in Task manager when playing minecraft? That is what is causing lag on my computer with an Intel Core i7-4770k Processer and 8GB of RAM.
Enjoy raiding and pvp in highly customizable and well organized groups, but hate the setup of Factions? Then check out my upcoming server containing multiple custom plugins and opearting on Minecraft version 1.8!

Optifine would definitely increase your client performance. However, you should make sure that your graphics drivers are up to date as well. Do you have any sort of registry cleaner/repair on your computer, it is possible that it may have actually corrupted your registry (Mine just did that today, only reason I'm asking) during the prior month. Another thing that could be lowering your FPS is fragmented files, be sure to defragment your computer quite often (NEVER defragment a solid-state drive, only a hard-disk drive). Junk files are another thing that might be slowing your computer's performance, try cleaning those up as well. There are a million things you could do to increase your computer's performance, but those are some of the most common.
