RAM Usage

So how much RAM does Minecraft use while producing a screenshot using Shift-F2 anyways?--Quatroking - MCWiki Administrator 14:35, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

After some testing, I found that it immediately stores all of the data to conserve RAM. File:Tjb0607SigIcon.png 19:27, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Location of .minecraft

Would be nice to give some hints to where to find it. ;) I doubt many users will be able to, especially on windows. Its %appdata%/.minecraft, and you can find it through "run" in winxp, with win7 simply type it into your startmenu. Dunno about vista. If some nativespeaker could put that into the article, id appreciate it! --Cass 12:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Like it says on the page, it can be found by simply pressing the options button in the Minecraft launcher. Make sure your Minecraft launcher is updated. File:Tjb0607SigIcon.png 06:40, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

RAM

"However, the image tends to be along the order of 1.8 gigabytes, meaning that image viewers will likely fail to open then file on computers with 2 gigabytes of RAM or less." What, are people running Windows 3.11? All stack overflows, virtual memory doesn't exist?
