Sorry for double posting.
Do you think 8GB will be enough? One of my friends is also in the process of building a computer and he is getting 2 8GB sticks because he thinks 8GB isn't enough.
I trust you over him :D

Re: Advice on building a computer. Pssst, Pemalite get over

Yay :D I just ordered the case, power supply and the optical drive (I changed it to pioneer) from PC Case Gear. I was going to purchase it from tigerdirect.com but the shipping was $260 :twisted: . The case should come in the next 24 hours, the power supply and optical drive in the next 5 working da...

Re: Advice on building a computer. Pssst, Pemalite get over

I was originally going to get the GTX 550, but then I went with the Radeon 6870 because it was like $20 more for a huge performance difference. It ranked much higher in the performance area than the GTX 550. Ok, I might swap it out for that. :D Is everything there compatible? I'm pretty sure they a...

Re: Advice on building a computer. Pssst, Pemalite get over

OK, thanks both of you. With the barebones kit linked, it says Intel HD Graphics (CPU Embedded). Does that mean they're built in to the processor? Yes, it seems to have an on-board GPU. All of these suck without fail. Thought so. I think I'll just build it from scratch and buy parts from newegg.com .

Hey Everyone, I'm sick of lag and playing with high fog so I've decided I'm going to build my own PC. I've been reading an awesome guide http://www.build-your-own-cheap-computer.com . It links to tigerdirect.com which seems cheap and ships to Australia. They also sell Barebones kits like this one: h...

Re: How can I make my computer run Minecraft better?

Hardware rendering is usually faster, and seeing as this is not a gaming laptop. there's your issue. when you don't have a good laptop, software render is the way to go. it also helps on my laptop, which makes it MUCH less laggy. if its a gaming computer would've it be hardware render but crappier ...

Intel HD Graphics Up to 1754 DVMT That's your problem right there, Intel Graphics are not for any kind of gaming, they're cheap, slow and only designed to draw an image on the screen. So. Please repeat after me: I will never buy a system with Intel Graphics again. Stick with systems that have AMD o...

Re: How can I make my computer run Minecraft better?

Buuuut really that means no there is nothing you can do short of things I'm sure you already tried like throwing more RAM at java and a defrag and all that. Please note that doesn't mean add more RAM to your laptop, it means assign a higher maximum to java. Are you talking about SMP and if so, grab...

This is a great idea!
I heard someone else suggest this in-game and thought that it was a great idea. I hate when the lessons in school are clogging up the chat.
