I'm new to the forums, and looking for advice on pcs.
My current pc is an old Gateway 510 Pentium 4 2.6ghz, 512mb ddr ram,
250 watt PSU, Geforce FX 5200 128mb shared ram. With an open AGP 8x slot.
I've tried playing Minecraft on this pc but the game lags so bad it is unplayable. By that I mean that I get below 20fps when moving around and it never gets above 20fps. The game has actually crashed a few times too.
I would really love to just upgrade my hardware enough to play Minecraft and maybe Spore, but money is tight right now so I can't get a new system. Is there any way to upgrade this so I can play games on it again? If so what would you suggest I get?
