Does ram make game play smoother?

Hey, as many other people i am a minecraft lover, but currently on my 2010 white unibody macbook minecraft doesnt run very smoothly. I usually have to put the render distance on tiny because anything above short it makes the game play very laggy!
I was wondering would increasing the ram to 4Gb or even 8Gb instead of 2Gb make me ably to run minecraft on a far render distance?
Also it would be nice to know the performance of your computer/laptop compare to its specs.
Thanks,

  • Is it possible to make video play smoothly from a flash drive?

    I know it's generally taboo to do just that. This is a special circumstance.
    I want to know if there's a way to either format the drive, or export the video (or a combination of the two) in such a way that video stored on the drive can play smoothly without having to download the content at all?

  • Does increasing ram improves game performance?

    does increasing ram improves game performance of my MBP 13" 2012??

    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Does it make sense to put in new 4gb of Ram in an early 2008 iMac

    It seems that my 2008 iMac is running slow after I made my last upgrade to ML.  I am thinking of putting in 2 2gb memory cards.  However, my Ram now is supposed to already be 4gb.  Does doing this make any sense?

    I tried to do what you said but now see new Etrecheck.  I am not very computer literate and feel like I have hit a stone wall.

  • What exactly does RAM do?

    I am probably going to replace my stock 512MB with 2GB. But before I do I'd like to know more about exactly what it does. Would it make my games I play smoother and faster? And what is different about RAM than processer speed?
    Thanks,
    NA

    It depends on why the video game is running choppy.
    If the reason is because virtual memory (your hard disk) is being over-used because there is not enough real RAM, then the games will probably run smoother.
    If the reason is because the video game needs a dedicated graphics processor for best frame rate, then the RAM will have only a minor improvement.
    If you are currently seeing a lot of "spinning beach balls", then you will be happier with more RAM.

  • Flash Player doesn't play smoothly and out of sync in full screen

    Hello! Everyone
    The flash player (11.2.202.235) does not play smoothly and in full screen audio and vidoe is out of sync.  I didn't use to have any problem at all, it only started about two weeks ago and since then despite trying various things (i.e. disabling hardware excelration, uninstalling & reinstalling, trying various browsers etc.) has not resolved the issue.  I don't know why it has suddenly stopped playing smoothly as I have not installed any software recently which might have cuased this. 
    I am using Windows XP (service pack3) and have dual partion with dual operating system (both XP).  There is the same problem on both operarting system and flash player won't run smoothly on either of them.  Although my computer and graphics card is quite old but the downloaded movies/DVD playback is fine even in full screen.  It runs smoothly and audio&video is in sync so I don't think it could my the graphics card. 
    As I mentioned I have tried all the browsers but without any luck.  The BBC iplayer plays ok most of the time if not in full screen but as soon as you make it full screen the vidoe is more like a slide show and very jittery and audio&video gets out of sync.  Same with youtube vidoes, they play ok when not in full screen but the video in full screen does not play smoothly and audio&vidoes gets out of sync.  However the ITV player & Channel 4 content on 4OD does not even play smoothly when not in full screen and the video&audio is out of sync all the time. 
    It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest anything to resolve this issue as I have not been able to find anything on the internet to solve the problem and its driving me up the wall.  Although I have tried to include as much details as I could think of so please let me know if I have missed any details that could be crucial in order to identify the problem.
    Thank you very much for reading this and taking the time to reply and your feedback.

    Would you mind opening a new bug on this at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please include your dxdiag report, a specific URL and a link to this forum thread.
    In the meantime, you might want to try our 11.3 beta or rollback to a previous version of the player to see if that resolves the problem.

  • Resizing IE window makes game errors

    I am running Windows Vista and the latest Java Run Time, If I open up runescape in full screen the game plays with no problems, if I then resize the window (smaller) visually it looks fine until I try to click somewhere with the mouse, and I end up clicking an inch or so under where I wanted, if I resize back to full screen it is fine again.
    Conversely if I open the screen window in small the game works fine, if I then resize (larger) I get the image the same size as the small screen and the rest of the screen is white and once again the mouse does not click in the right place.
    I have the latest driver from NVIDEA, however this may have something to do with it, I updated the driver because the older driver kept failing and closing the game window down, I no longer get that problem, just replaced it with a new one.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks for reading.

    Hi Isla
    Your message is really, very, very long. I think its too long to read it twice ;)
    . Regarding all your issues on this notebook well. it looks like you have installed many 3rd party programs and applications. In such case its not easy to say if such issues are software or hardware related. But I presume its software.
    I checked your screenshot pic but I have never seen such error message. But it looks like something wrong with the graphic card driver. The message says something about Live Kernel Event
    A kernel's services are requested by other parts of the operating system like graphic card driver for example.
    In such case I would recommend updating the graphic driver. According to you message its a Intel GPU. So you could check the Intel page for the compatible graphic chip driver.
    Regarding the FN key issue;
    The Toshiba FlashCard utility controls the FN key functionality. I have read in this forum that this application does not run smoothly and in some cases it causes some issues. The new update should solve the problems. You should check the Toshiba driver page. The FlashCard Utility is a part of the Toshiba Value added package.
    So finally one more hint:
    You should always check for the Vista updates on the Microsoft page. This OS is not perfected and Microsoft releases very often patches and fixes
    Hope it could helps a little bit.
    If necessary just ask for more info :)
    Regards

  • .DV and .MOV files don't play smoothly in the Final Cut Express viewer

    Hi,
    I bought Final Cut Express 4.0 yesterday, so I have no experience with it. I only used iMovies HD 6.0.3 a little before.
    Problem:
    When I import my .MOV and .DV files into FCE 4.0, then try to watch them in the viewer they don't play smoothly. The sound is fine, but the video is not smooth, it plays in stops and starts.
    Just to see, I tried importing a .FLV file and it plays just fine in the viewer, both audio and video runs smoothly with no 'stop starting'
    I experimented with importing different file sizes of .DV and .MOV, from 3GB to a few MB even and even very small clips of a few KB. But regardless of the size I always have this problem of them not running smoothly in the viewer.
    One of the .MOV files I tried to import was a reference file, and I later read in the manual that FCE may only recognise the original file. But I have the same problem even with the Original file and other self contained files that have been copied from the original. So it doesnt seem to just a problem with reference files.
    Any idea what the problem might be?
    Is it something to do with how I have FCE set up?
    Or is it that the .MOV and .DV files are not being properly imported and is this why they are not running smoothly in the viewer?
    I'm using a MacBook with 10.4.11 operating system, which the guys at my local Apple store said would be fine for using FCE 4.0.
    Hope someone can help,
    Ian.

    Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.

  • Will more RAM make photoshop run better

    Hey everybody
    I am thinking of upgrading to 2GB of RAM, i dont really no how this will help my computer, but if it does, will it make Photoshop run nice and smooth, or does RAM have nothing to do with that.
    Thanks everybody

    More Ram will make everything run better including Photoshop. I run CS3 on my MacBook and it works great. As cheap as Ram is I would suggest you get as much as you can afford.

  • Havok and interesting game play

    hi,
    I am only a newbie, and I have noticed this:
    "Real physics usually doesn't make interesting game play".
    does that mean that the Havok Physics engine is not "Real" physics, cause all the games made with havok are interesting??

    No idea what it is. Is it an open-source project, a
    commercial engine or what? Could you name some games
    it was used to make?Havok is a commercial "engine" that provides a developer with a suite of libraries that can be used to calculate the behavior of bodies in space. I realize on the face of it, my explaination sounds condescending, so please let me elaborate. Havoc simply consists of a collection of methods and functions - you still have to determine which behavior you want to effect. If your car hits an oil barrel, you still have to decide whether you want the barrel to slide, or pinwheel off in a parabolic arch, but once you do, you can provide Havoc with the masses and speeds of the two objects and Havoc gives you a nice plot of where the barrel should be, and what orientation at any given moment. That information can (in theory) be easily plugged into your graphics routines.
    It's better to say that Havoc gives you the option of easily adding "realistic" behavior to objects, and of course, you can always subclass those methods to stimulate unconventional environments such as in space or deep underwater.
    For more information, check out http://www.havok.com.
    The current flagship products are Deus Ex: Invisible War, Max Payne 2 and Half-Life 2.
    I should point out that the license for using technology like this usually runs about $100,000 to $500,000 USD plus royalties per unit sold. It's probably a little unrealistic to expect to see Havok used in things like Java Applets right now. :)

    Hello,
    I'm a customer that wanted to bring to your attention the lack of customer service I've received from the Best Buy store at your Tri-County location, here in Ohio.  On the 14th of November, I walked in the store to buy an open box electric stove that was advertised on your website.  Your website clearly stated that one was in stock at the Tri-County location.  I called the store and spoke to a representative prior to my arrival at the store to confirm that this information was accurate and the rep simply told me yes it was, if it says it one the website then to go off of that.  
    So I went to the store to purchase the stove and was unable to find it.  I had several associates help me look for it and nobody could find it and the managers determined that it wasn't in stock.  Since it was a Best Buy mistake, the manager offered to give me the new version of the stove for the same price, which saved me a little money.  As I'm patiently waiting for the final word from one of the managers, I start looking around for other things I may possibly want to buy and I come across an open box french door refrigerator, so I decide to purchase that as well.  Nothing was wrong with it, except for a couple scratches.   Keep in mind that this is nearly a couple weeks before thanksgiving, where I had nearly 30 attendants.  I just bought a dishwasher and microwave from lowes and wanted to have my complete appliance set on display just in time for Thanksgiving.
    When the items arrived at my home, a couple days before Thanksgiving, I was relieved that I received them on time.  For the most part, the delivery crew was acceptable, except for the fact that they broke a light switch on the wall as they were trying to move the refrigerator in it's place.  They told me about it and I told them that that was okay and that I was just happy that I received my appliances.  As anyone else would do, I waited for the fridge to get cold before I put the food back in and when it came time to do so, I noticed that the middle flap between both french doors was broke.  It's a bit deceiving because if you just look at it you can't really tell, but after opening and closing it a couple times, you could easily tell that it was broken.  So I called Best Buy that same day and told them of the problem.  I asked them if they had that part at the store, so I could just come in and get the replacement.  Note, that on the appliance defect report this was not listed, so I'm assuming it was damaged during delivery or was overlooked.  I mentioned this to the manager.  He said, that the item had to be special ordered, so as disappointed as I was that my fridge would not be fully operational for thanksgiving, I said it was okay and he told me that he would call me once it came in.  To give you a better idea of what my family is experiencing, we don't use the left door on the fridge.  
    2 weeks go by and I still haven't received a call, so I decide to call and check in for an update.  An associate tells me that the item just came in yesterday and that he would call me back in a few minutes to schedule a repair.  I don't receive a call that day, so I call best buy back a few days later.  Again, I speak to the same associate and he tells me that the item never came in and that the manager was just going to give me a new fridge instead. So I call your corporate office and speak with an associate and he says that he will get to the bottom of it and help me set up the delivery.  
    Well on the day of the delivery, which was a Saturday, I was told that it would be dropped off sometime between 3 and 5 in the evening, or something in that timeframe.  What do I do?  I empty out my fridge and clear a path for the delivery personnel.  It being a Saturday, I had plans and I haven't received a call from anybody.  So around half past 5, I start putting the items back in the fridge, as well as move the furniture back in place.  Keep in mind, this is no easy task.  I have a 4 bedroom home and a family of 5, so yes, I have a lot of furniture and a fully stocked fridge.  This probably took at least 2 hours to get everything cleared and to put it back in place when I found out they were not showing up.  
    I then get a call at 15 till 6 from the delivery crew telling me that they were on there way. Surprised and irate that they are now calling me, I have to refuse the delivery because we we didn't have time to wait around since we already had plans for the night.  I get another call from a Best Buy associate trying to reschedule and I told them that I've had enough of their dealings and that I would let corporate handle it and through corporate I would see that a proper delivery would then be scheduled.
    Well this morning I saw on my phone that I have several missed calls, as early as 6 in the morning from Best Buy delivery stating that I am suppose to recieve my fridge in the morning and I was there 2nd stop.  I call the guy and tell him that I was unaware of the delivery and that I would give you guys a call today to schedule the appointment.  I intend to call you after I send this email regarding that.  
    So in all, I've probably been on the phone with Best Buy personnel at least 10 times and several hours.  I spoke to several associates, including 3 different managers, 3 different delivery crews, and a rep from your corporate office once.  I think it's safe to say that this has been a total nightmare and saving a couple hundred dollars does not make up for it.  I wanted to reach out to you because as an educated consumer, who also happens to be an elite Best Buy member, I can firmly say that because of this "Nightmare" I will not be buying any more appliances from your store and you would be lucky if I bought anything else from the store.  You do have some pretty good deals on games and movies though, so I may continue to do that.  
    Please take this information and utilize it accordingly, obviously, this is not how business should be ran and I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened.  The exact same thing happend to my friend a few years back from a different store.

    Hello penningtonj, 
    While it's great to hear that you seem to have received new inbox units at open box prices due to your experiences, it certainly sounds like the delivery portion of the experience could have been vastly better for you. 
    I'm glad to hear that the oven is working well for you, and I'm truly sorry to hear of the difficulties you've experienced with the open box refrigerator. Our open box items should be thoroughly inspected and marked accordingly for its condition or any missing parts or accessories. It is disheartening to hear that a damaged part may have gone unnoticed. With that said, it's awesome that the store has offered to replace it. 
    We strive to ensure our deliveries are seamless and hassle-free. Given you have a sizable family, I know emptying a refrigerator is no easy task, as I grew up in family of a similar size, and should the refrigerator have to be emptied for any reason, it was a bit chaotic! It is regrettable to hear that the delivery team was late, and that they failed to contact you sooner to let you know of their delay. Furthermore, it is strange that you may not have been aware of (and thus completely unprepared for) the rescheduled delivery. I can understand how this would be concerning, and further aggravating.
    I sincerely apologize for the continued hassle you've experienced with purchasing these appliances. With that said, it appears that you are currently scheduled for delivery on 1/28/15. You should receive a phone call the night before to provide you with a time frame of when to expect them. If you should have any questions or concerns, please feel welcome to reach out to me! 
    Respectfully,
