Just a quick question, i'm having a bit of trouble playing online. It seems my computer and minecraft slow down a lot when I play MC online. I have about 3 GB's of RAM (shitty laptop I know). Would closing all programs and just running the client help, or is there something else I should be doing?

Hello All, I am Jberm110, I saw my application was just approved and I wanted to come on here and introduce myself. A little backround, I am 17 and am going to be in my senior year next year. I have been a gamer ever since I was little. I generally play a lot of PS3, and play a different variety of genres. I'm pretty new at Minecraft and i'm just getting my feet wet in online minecraft play. I hope to see you all on the server soon! Thanks! Jberm110
