First of all, what are your PC specs, such as the ram and CPU?


An integrated graphics card is one which is built into your motherboard.

You only have a pentium 2.8Ghz, but that should be fine to run minecraft on normal settings.
However, I would recommend upgrading your RAM from 1GB to at least 2GB, this well help run Minecraft a lot.

As for the graphics card, if you are looking for a mid range one; I would recommend this You must login or register to view this content. , its not the best, but its good for its price and would be fine running Minecraft

so... what your saying is I should get a 1GB RAM like this: You must login or register to view this content. and a $66 Graphics Card. You know of something a little cheaper? I'm not that good on money right now, and i wanna get a 1TB HDD, since right now im only running 80GB. Btw, you know any site that explains RAM/Graphic cards exchanges/upgrades? I wanna learn Smile

It depends, different PC's have different types of ram, so I'm not entirely sure what type you would need Happy
