While i like my gaming rig very much, my brother has an old, old hand-me-down that is the dell inspiron 530. here are its specs:
note this is a tower despite the inspiron name.
2GB DDR2 RAM (memory clock uncertain) Possibly 667mhz
Intel Core Duo E2160 @ 2.2 GHz
Windows Vista 32 bit
320GB, 7,200 rpm Hard drive. Make uncertain
I would like to get this to run minecraft at a serviceable speed on lowest settings. i dont mind going as extreme as overclocking, but i am unable to change the parts due to my brother not wanting to have to change anything
(infuratingly due to the fact i have a nice gt520 on my desk)
current speed
Here is what i have tried already
Disk Cleanup
Defrag hard drive
set 4000mb pagefile
various lag-lowering mods for minecraft itself
thats it. this pc is about 5 years old and has 30gb storage left. thanks for your help
