MineCraft PC question??

[Andii]

Right i love the xbox version but been watching loads of videos on PC version and it looks tidy so is it worth buying it and if so what are the requirements for my laptop as its about 4 years old ???

Doesn't really matter the age, more the specs you have. Recommendations:

Minimum Requirements:

• CPU : Intel P4/NetBurst Architecture or its AMD Equivalent (AMD K7)
• RAM : 2GB
• GPU : Intel GMA 950 or AMD Equivalent
• HDD : At least 90MB for Game Core and Sound Files
• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 or up is required to be able to run the game.

Recommended Requirements:

• CPU : Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz
• RAM : 4GB
• GPU : GeForce 6xxx or ATI Radeon 9xxx and up with OpenGL 2 Support (Excluding Integrated Chipsets)
• HDD : 150MB

Software Requirements:

• Minecraft Release 1.2.5 or newer. Older versions will need to be updated to current versions
• Java (Java SE 6 Update 32 or Java SE 7 Update 4 or newer is preferred)
• Please note that some users experience issues playing Minecraft while using a mismatched version of Java for their operating system (32 or 64 bit), while using certain versions of Java 7, or while multiple versions of Java are installed

The PC version is by far better than the 360 version.

Runs fine on my four year old PC, but its a desktop and has had a few upgrades.

Might be worth trying to run the 'classic mc' through the website java applet to see if it can handle that for starters.

I can't even run the bloody classic version, and I can run the Normal. Classic is so glitchy.
I think, if you can wait a while, do. They should be releasing a demo version of the PC version around august.
