How to tell if my GPU & CPU are sufficient to run Minecraft on my pc

[liagallo]

Hello,
My son would like to put the Minecraft game on my PC. I have 2.00 GB RAM, my GPU is Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family and my CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz. Also I downloaded the latest version of Java. Is this sufficient?

whatever game you wanna play just look up the system requirments to play that game

you can play it basically, also i would upgrade your proccessor to a better one if u wanna play games, id suggest the t7500 2.2ghz on ebay around 20 quid and upgrade your ram to 4 and you will be able to play it smoothley

You will be able to run it, but barely. You will have to turn down the fog distance all the way to have it run smoothly. You should download the Demo first and see how it runs and see if it's acceptable to you and your son. Minecraft is more taxing on a system than you would think. So, download it and give it a go. You got nothing to lose but a few minutes of your time.
