I heard there are programs you can run to mimic vista to run certain programs, what are they and are they easy to use? My main concern is that I would be getting into something that would be a little to complicated and hands on for my caveman computer knowledge.. Any info or thoughts would much appreciated...
Thank you.
Answer
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 6 Main Edition which is Ubuntu based. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled.
You would be best off RUNNING IT LIVE so you can get the feel of things.

Once you have got the feel of things you may wish to consider an installation

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 6 then you need to create a Bootable CD from the ISO. This can easily be done using Nero Burning ROM or similar software. Linux Mint can also be run straight from the LiveCD you have created without touching your Hard Drive.
Remember you can RUN IT LIVE !

How do I get more fps in minecraft?
Zackery
My Computer info:
Manufacturer- Samsung Electronics
Processor- Intel Core i3-2370M CPU @ 2.40GHz
RAM- 4GB (3.71 GB usable)
System type- 64-bit Operating System (yes I have 64 bit java)
Display- Intel HD Graphics 3000 (I don't know if this is the graphics card or just something else if not please tell me where it says what type of graphics card I have)
I just got this computer and one of my favorite games to play is minecraft and on this computer I only get an average of 5 fps which is really annoying me because the movements in the game are comparable to seeing someone's movements in a strobe light. I have installed optifine and pretty much made everything go as low as it can but that only gets me to 7 fps. I will try anything that is suggested because this laggy movement is really annoying.
Also I think that something is really wrong because on other not powerful computers I have played on still get at least 30-50 fps on high settings (fancy, far, etc)
One weird thing I noticed in my drivers under Processors is that I have 4 of the same drivers active and I don't know if that is relevant to my problem.
Its a laptop and if I need a better graphics card can I have a suggestion for one that would let me run minecraft better but not cost a lot.
Answer
Intel HD graphics is the reason for that low fps. If this is a desktop, you will need to buy a dedicated graphics card. The better it is the more fps but probably still limited by your cpu. If you want to have more fps with the current setup will either have to use the minecraft mod "Optifine" for a slight increase of fps or install a Linux OS like Ubuntu or Mint. On my computer with Intel HD 2000 I got 7-9 fps in Windows 7 and 32-38 fps in Ubuntu.
