Got my daughter a computer (HP Pavillion a1730n). It won't run Minecraft without rolling it back to an earlier version. It has an open PCIe slot. I think an upgrade of the graphics adapter might help. Can you recommend one? I don't mind upgrading the processor also if that would be more useful. Here are some specs from Belarc if that helps:
2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core
128 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Not hyper-threaded
Board: ASUSTek Computer INC. NODUSM3 1.05
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 5.04 12/15/2006
1920 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory
Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (build 7601)
Thanks!
