(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If you have a bad video card, but 4 gigs of ram or more, this tutorial will bring your fps up to about 80!

First, create a text file and name it "Minecraft.bat" (disable hiding extensions for known file types in your folder options if you cannot create a .bat file)

In the .bat, type this "@ECHO OFF
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx6144M -Xms6144M -jar "C:\Users\Skyler\Application Data\.minecraft\minecraft.exe""

Change the directories to match your own, and where it says xmx6144 and xms6144 type a number depending on the amount of RAM you have.

You can find the amount of RAM your computer has in your computer properties

4 Gigabytes = 4096
6 Gigabytes = 6144
8 Gigabytes = 8192
and so on..

I have 8 gigs of RAM, but i'd like to keep 2 gigs free for any background applications.

When you're done, open the .bat, it should open minecraft, if you have any problems quote this post and i'll help you =D

So I do this if I have 2 gigs: CProgram Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar CUsers\Skyler\Application Data\.minecraft\minecraft.exe

This seems cool but it says that it cannot access the jar. Could you take a snapshot of the text file?
