So I've recently come across a somewhat older computer... Specifically a Dell Latitude D600. I had this thing a long time ago, but it became sort of forsaken when I later got a newer, much more powerful machine.
This thing runs Windows XP Professional, and has 2GB of RAM, a an Intel Pentium 1.8 GHz Processor. When I found this machine I found the desktop littered with files from the era when my school didn't store assignments online. I got around this by making a "organized" list in the form of shitty html documents... Saved locally, to this one machine... On my desktop... Scattered about, not even in a folder. I also found an install of Roller Coaster Tycoon, Flight Simulator 98, and Robot Arena 2. I mused over seeing Clippy in Office 2003, and greatly enjoyed seeing the things from my past that weren't the result of an unbelievably stupid idea.
But I wanted more. I put this in the General FTB forum for a reason. I want this thing to run Minecraft. I downloaded the FTB and Technic (Don't even think about it) Launchers, and started by running FTB. When I logged in and launched, the first thing I noticed is that this poor machine couldn't even handle giving Java a single GigaByte of memory. I turned it down to 512 MB, and launched again. Much to my pleasure, the game launched successfully. I proceeded to generate the first world this machine would ever see. It took over a minute to prepare spawn and toss me into the game, and I knew then that this wouldn't be as easy as I thought. When I unpaused the game and looked around, I experienced unplayable amounts of lag as my FPS dropped to near nothingness. I knew I couldn't manage a good game in this state. So I come to you, beast feeders, asking for advice. Any ideas how, with creative configuring, I can get that game running on this machine?
