You can't fix it. Your computer can't handle it. Either upgrade it (unless you have a laptop) or get a new computer.

Add ram when you arent using all of it wont make a difference at all, so it is a waste. Thats like using 120gb of your 1tb HDD and then going "hmmm, i wonder if I add a 2tb drive if it will make my computer faster." Minecraft has almost nothing to do with ram, and most modern computers can support it. (300mb?!?)

Minecraft performs more based on your GPU, so if you have a 660 with 8gb of ram that will perform worse than a 780 with 4gb of ram.

You might want to buy a bit more RAM. 8GB should be good.

Ram won't do anything, MC for me only uses 200 mb on max everything.

Pikachu35i have the same problem but much worse. here is he details: manufacturer is unknown, the processor is Intel(R) core2 duo CPU E400 @ 2.20 GHz
2G RAM installed
32-bit OS
windows xp home
service pack 3
the graphics card is intel (R) G33/G32
java version 7 with update 55


You can run Minecraft on that?
I'm surprised.

I ran Minecraft at ~20 fps with:
Windows XP and half a gig of ram. I don't remember the rest of the specs, but it was a terrible computer.

You didn't list a GPU, so I assume you are using your IGPU, which is either a 3000/4000 or maybe even a 4600, but you didn't list which model CPU you had either, so, I can't even tell you which igpu you have.

Edit: I looked right over your model, my bad. Your igpu is a Intel HD Graphics 3000, which is not good for minecraft, at all.

Try using some different super secret settings. Oddly, some of them reduce lag!

I've written about some of the best ways to speed Minecraft on my site linked below, but in essence:

1. Install 64-bit Java
2. Turn down video settings
3. Install Optifine
4. Update graphics drivers.

There's dozens of small things that all add up!

1 Thing i want to tell everyone reading this.

Please try the MSConfig

Type this in your start search bar. msconfig
Once its opend go to the "Startup" tab
deselect everything from there. This will disable every program to startup
making your pc alot faster to startup and might even increase your framerate

You're welcome ^_^

5 Tips:

1. Get optifine
2. Turn off all shaders and resource packs
3. Have the graphics thingy on fast not fancy
4. Turn Clouds off
5. Dont have any mods but Optifine

My mc lagged SOOO MUCH (Before and after i got mods) then I got Optifine... A HUGE difference! I would have say 20 FPS now I got like 100 FPS

Yeah this is something not many people mention. Defragmenting your hard drive can help a ton when accessing data.

Have you installed Optifine and turned all your graphics options down to fast settings?

Okay, I will link you to a tutorial on how to make gaming/minecraft less laggy for you.
If this doesnt work I am afraid you would need to buy a new and better graphics card. If you do so you will not experience any lag whatsoever
