Computer not up to date?
Hey Guys!
First i have to say, that i dont have much knowledge about the hardware of computers.
My problem is, that my computer seems to be overhelmed with running minecraft.
When i play, i usually use my bukkit server to work with voxelsniper, and the normal minecraft game. There are no other persons on the server, just me ...
But when i play my cpu workload is somwhere around 80% and my ram is between 40% and 100%.
There are some serious problems sometimes. Could it be possible that my computer cant handle that much of work?
I´ve got a "Intel Core 2 CPU 6600 2,40GHZ". Maybe tow of them? I dont know That is what i can read in the control panel of my system ...
And 2 GB RAM.
Maybe someone of you could give me some help
Greetings, McBreakdown

Hey GenBOOM!
Thank you for this veeery nice post. I´ve tried several of this things before but nothings seems to help at all. I should have said that i use a normal computer and Windows Vista.
Would it help to add more RAM to the computer or do i need a complete new CPU?

Your entire post is best summed up by this:
GenBOOMnone of this helps its simply time to upgrade your computer.
what he said ^^
First be sure you have installed all of your mods and plugins correctly as well as making sure they are compatible and your texture pack is supported by the mods you are using.
If you are using anything bigger than 16x16 download MCPatcher and run the program and check the HD Textures box and click patch. Then simply run minecraft like normal.
If you are still having problems:
What operating system are you on?
I'm assuming thats a laptop and you are running Windows 7.
Go to your desktop, right click "My Computer" Select Properties, Are you on 32 bit or 64 bit?
If you are on 64 bit you need to download Java 64 bit. By default most computers have 32 bit.
Your problem is if you are running Vista or Windows 7 you will not have enough RAM.
To free up more memory turn off "Superfetch"
1. Click the Start and type REGEDIT in the Start Search area.
2. Open the Registry Editor.
3. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then SYSTEM
then CurrentControlSet
then Control
then Session Manager
then MemoryManagement
then click PrefetchParameters
4. On the right side, double-click on EnableSuperfetch
5. Give it one of the following hexadecimal values:
0 to disable Superfetch
2 to enable boot prefetching (I recommend this)
Click OK.
6. Close the Registry Editor.
Also download CCleaner to clean out temporary files that are bogging down your system. This should take about 3 minutes.
I also recommend you use Wise PC Engineer and create a System Restore Point as well as a Registry Backup, then use the Disk Cleaner, to do a broader search for useless temporary files and Registry Cleaner to get rid of problems, then the Registry Defrag to compress your registry and give your system a small boost. This should take about 20 minutes.
Once you have done that, download Defraggler and chose Action>Advanced>Check Drive for Errors let that run, then defrag your Hard Drive to improve disk performance. This can take up to an hour or more.
If you still lag, you may need to tweak your java memory values go to your Control Panel>Programs>Java. This should open the Java Control Panel. Select the Java tab click view, and make sure the Platform is the latest version of Java and in the Runtime Parameters type in -Xmx1512m this will give java permission to use 1.5 GB (or 1512 MB) of your RAM, now click ok. Do not assign more than this if you are on Vista. If you are on Windows 7 skip this- windows 7 needs 1 GB of RAM to maintain the system and Java limits itself to 1 GB by default.
Also you can launch your MineCraft from a .bat file. Open Notepad type in
@echo off
java -client -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseAdaptiveGCBoundary -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=500 -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -XX:SurvivorRatio=12 -Xnoclassgc -XX:UseSSE=3 -Xincgc -XmxINSERT AMMOUNT OF RAM YOU WANT TO BE ALLOCATED HEREM -cp Minecraft.exe net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
exit
Then save it as a .bat instead of a .txt
Simply click the bat file to launch minecraft from now on.
Also right-click your desktop and click Personalize and change your Theme to Windows Classic. If you want to go even further right click My Computer>Properties>Advanced System Settings>Performance Settings Uncheck all but Smooth Screen font and Shadow options.
You can also go to START, type in Run and then dxdiag, click ok. Go to the Display tab and notice the name of the first device. This is your graphics card model. Now go to NVidias Driver Downloads Page if it is an NVidia graphics device or go to AMD's Driver Download Page if it is a Radeon or ATI graphics card and just select the right information or auto detect the hardware and download the software and install it.
Once you are done with all of this restart your computer and you should be running like brand new again.
If none of this helps its simply time to upgrade your computer.

nope
Is it possible to run 64-bit java on a 32-bit OS?
That load is kinda high, but the specs of your computer are low so its not particularly surprising.
Installing 64-bit java will make a massive difference to performance.
Upgrading to 1.0.0 may help because it isn't as laggy as 1.8 or 1.9
Getting optimine/optifog will also help performance.

Nothing should be wrong with it because they are similar specs to my macbook and it runs minecraft fine.
