up until very resently I was playing on a 1.66 Ghz Intel atom 1 GB RAM net book it was fine with minecraft 1.2.5 but struggled with 1.3.2 my current computer is

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3.11 Ghz 4.00 GB RAM
WIN 7
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

It runs minecraft with out optifine at the best setting around 30 FPS at lower setting 60 jungles cause FPS drops but it is a huge improvement on my old netbook.

So what is the computer you play minecraft on ?

AMD Radeon HD G370M
Mobile Intel(R) HD Graphics

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2310M
CPU @ 2.10GHz 2.10 GHz
6.00 GB RAM

Win 7

Note: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to electronics, so I'm just getting these off my computer />

Hmm I quite enjoy my custom 6 ghz machine over clocked with 16gb ram.
I use windows 7 as its a fairly stable os. I will not get windows 8. Sadly windows 8 is a tablet os in my eyes. Much like iOS.

6 Ghz is very fast that must run very hot what core / cooling system are you using to achieve that speed ?

I'm sorry. Do they make processors that have this speed? Or is it insanely overclocked? I thought the fastest was about 4.2 GHz

I got a new computer as a gift,

Ubuntu
11.10 (Oneric)
Linux Kernel 3.0.0-12-generic
GNOME 3.2.0

Hardware
RAM: 2gb
CPU: Dual core Intel Pentium P6200 @2.13GhZ
Storage: Not sure, somewhere between 250 and 500 gb (Ubuntu is partitioned off)

I have not actually tried Minecraft on here, but I hope the results will be good (In my experience, not likely but eh, I can run a telnet server...)

[Cozzimoto]

Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.4GHZ
8GB 1033MHZ RAM
Nividia GTX 460 1GB GDDR5
Samsung 830 Series SSD <- my favorite piece of hardware!
windows 7 64 bit
and my windows Exp index is 7.2 =)

[cant_delete_account]

Current specs:

Processor  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB

(I know it's pretty horrible, but surprisingly in 12w40a I get about 130 FPS stable and in 1.3.2 I get around 60 stable)

[schrolock]

what about hexa cores? my tower as 6 cores

[Tiin57]

AMD Zambezi FX-4100 3.6 GHz overclocked to 4.2 GHz
32 GB RAM
Two Geforce GTX 690 gpus
256 GB SSD
And a hell of a lot of cooling.

Sharing computer specifications is fun. Sometimes I like to oogle at the amazing machines that some of the more well-off users have, but I must say this to everyone viewing this thread and posting in this thread:

Your computer is your own and that's all that really matters. Don't be ashamed of the computer you have, even if you want a more powerful one. It is unfortunate to see so many posters in these threads talk badly about their own machines. Just because you can't afford to spend $5,000 on a computer does not make you any less of a gamer or enthusiast. Nor does it make your machine any less of a computer.

My cat is not a Russian Blue, that's ok. He is my cat, his name is Sanchez, and he is a badass. Learn this logic, for it is superior.

Where are you getting a "top of the line" GPU for $40

[PixelToast]

once you go with a SSD you will never go back to a normal HDD, right tiin57? its so worth the money, and a SSD will never crash on you!

my computer was around 800 bucks at the time and when i built her it was about 5 years ago maybe longer.

[BigSHinyToys]

I got mine second hand needed a new CD drive I had one spare so total $130.00 AUS

I am thinking about getting a SSD for it and running the OS on that.

Is you SSD connected through PCIe or SATA , and what read write speed does it achive 3Gb/s is max for SATA is I remember correctly

SATA, 3gbps

[Cozzimoto]

my SSD is only 64GB and it is partitioned to only run the OS and it is amazing. i have it hooked up through a SATA II 3Gb/s but the drive is compatible for SATA III which is 6Gb/s. i did a benchmark on my drive compared to my old HDD, and my old HDD write speed was 54MB/s through IDE. and my benchmark on my SSD through SATA II 3Gb/s was 257MB/s and SATA III was 550MB/s. my OS literally takes about 10 seconds to boot up to the login screen. everything else i install goes on my old HDD for programs. =)

HUGE IMPROVEMENT!
