DELL VENUE PRO 8 TABLET
Hi, Will a DELL VENUE PRO 8 TABLET run Minecraft OK please ? Cheers, Andrew.

update requirements to meet current minecraft
the majority of the information here is out of date for 1.7, and will be even more so when OpenGL 2.1 becomes a requirement. is there any plans to overhaul this? if not i could update but feedback/help would be welcome --Adam 27 (talk) 22:40, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

the new table based off of the current release and the official mojang requirements page--Adam 27 (talk) 22:54, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

this is still a work in progress. text in bold is stuff im unsure about 1 excluding Intel atom based computers. 2 multiplayer clients use less RAM than singleplayer --Adam 27 (talk) 00:51, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 update 45 or later is required to be able to run the game.
 * Note that these requirements are for the game only you will need to allocate more resources to the OS!
 * OpenGL 2.1 is not a requirement for 1.7, and it won't be for 1.8 either so we've got a ways to go until 1.9. Right now, OpenGL 1.3 is required, though the game will now use extra GL calls if the card supports it. ExtremeHeat11 (talk) 19:51, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * thanks, however the table itself is still out of date --Adam 27 (talk) 19:53, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Memory
The minimum and optimal memory on this page is complete bs. Minecraft runs faster with less memory if you are doing simple tasks such as vanilla with a vanilla texture pack. The optimal memory for that is about 256MB, not 2GB. Minimum is closer to 128MB. This is referring to memory the game is launched with however; the system needs around 1 GB spare to be safe, so minimum should be 1 GB and optimal 1.5 GB. Quote from sp614x (creator of Optifine): "Launch Minecraft with less memory (yes, really). Usually it does not need more than 350 MB and runs fine on all settings with the default texture pack. By default java allocates way too much memory (1GB) which may get swapped to disk and the overall performance may suffer a lot."
