Talk:Java Edition hardware performance/Archive 4

Important Things

 * The distribution of Linux is irrelevant.
 * The architecture and kernel version is necessary
 * OpenGL version column will not be added.
 * Java version column WILL be added with 1.2 and newer results via Minestats
 * Computer type (laptop/desktop) column WILL be added with 1.2 and newer results via Minestats

To Be Discussed

 * Should we count Mac as a Linux/Unix Distro?
 * Should we break the page into 2 or 3 sub-pages:
 * Unix/Linux (Includes Mac), Windows
 * or
 * Mac, Unix/Linux, Windows

Minimum Requirements
I doubt that Minecraft would be playable with only 256MB of RAM on Windows. XP requires about 200MB of RAM (While Microsoft Say 128MB is recommended if you disable the Page File on a laptop which only has about 200MB of RAM available Windows will complain about not having enough memory), Vista Requires 512MB-1GB and Windows 7 needs 1GB(32Bit Edition)-2GB(64Bit Edition). You would have the majority of the Games memory coming from the Page File, causing lag. --Stucuk 01:33, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
