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.

What is linux and what are the benefits?
ahhhhhwet
I dont really know much about linux, but i know its open source and its community based but other than the fact that its free, why would anyone want to use it? And I want to use it just to try it but i dont know where to start. Is it like a program I install? If i do run it can I go back to running windows if i dont like it? help?
Answer
its just a different operating system. I say the main benefits are the safety of it. 90% of virus' are written for windows based computers since its the 'norm' then about 9% on mac. Linux is less than 1% problems with malware/virus.
Another as you mentioned its FREE.
There are TONS of different versions and builds, but i prefer and just recently switched from using windows for over 20 years to linux. I use Linuxmint which is a good crossover.
You can get it here : http://www.linuxmint.com get ersion 12 the DVD version if you can, burn it to a disk and boot to the disk. If you just want to try it out you dont even have to INSTALL you can just run it from the live disk. However if you want to install it and still keep windows you can dual boot (partition your drive and have 2 operating systems and choose which one to use)

Enjoy man!
