    1Gb of ram?! I had 512Mb in my old computer and i still managed to play minecraft on the highest settings with 200 mods! (version 1.2.5 after that version, MC now requires al least 4Gb of ram)

    I don't think the ram was the issue, I think it's the fan that made the cpu overheat and make things slow

    0.99GB RAM XD

    WTF man, you should have just gave her your computer for like 30 mins and get done with it, it would have kept you sane XD

    @Gregozor2121 As a modpack creator I call BS on that, 512MB of RAM is not sufficient for 200 mods at any version
