    My 14 year old and 9 year old LOVE this game. Me personally I get annoyed with it. It eats up a lot of cpu when in use, and I dont have a gaming computer. I keep trying to tell the kids that,,..

    I went into the Nether fairly early.... and I wasn't suitably armed for the assault that came down on me. Gonna go back once I've got my full diamond armor and sword, and enough obsidian to make a basic structure.

    actually, it isn't really about the video card you have in this case. It eats a lot of RAM as it runs, so if you have a way of freeing up processes on your cpu, or if you upgrade your RAM (which I reccommend in any case), it should do a lot better.

    My moment of realization of how far it had gone was when I realized I was literally watching grass grow. I was terraforming some desert squares over to dirt squares, so I had to run a bunch of dirt blocks over to where there were grasslands and wait for the grass to grow across to the field.

    Yep, terraforming is a good way to while away a depressingly sunny day xD

    Mine came when i realised i was looking up fort designs purely for the purposes of recreating it loll

    Yar its RAM you need ta look at, my comp is awful graphics processing but has 4GB 1067MHz RAM, which isn't too decent but its plenty to run MC simultaneously with other programs

    The town I'm working on currently. I just finish surrounding the outer walls with a moat of lava. Those fucking Endermen kept taking blocks out of my walls, and a creeper (kamikaze shrub monster) got through the line. Had to repair a whole chunk of ground and walls, so I finally got a bunch of buckets and start hauling lava up from the ravine under the town.

    I should also include that youcan try out minecraft for free in classic mode online through http://www.minecraft.net/, and selecting it on the right side of the page for singelplayer or multiplayer modes.

    Out of curiosity did an activity monitor while MC was running along with a few common apps, Safari, Skype and iTunes.

    It was averaging over 500 MBs and between 50-70% CPU. So really anything under 4 Gigs RAM is gonna
    struggle

    haha my 13 year old loves this game he's been playing for about a year now, I think....along with Runescape and Terrairia (sp)......He's mad at me now though, cause I switched his OS to Linux and now he's trying to learn how to install his mods to use in the game.....
