Hey all,
I managed to get Minecraft working on my retro PC yesterday. It currently has a Pentium III 600EB, 320MB of RAM and a GeForce2 MX400. Got 30FPS max, when looking at the sky with tiny render distance.
The reason I'm posting this is because...
Official source has it that the Alpha and Beta only require a P6 core processor to run. So basically... Since it's been proven that it can also run on the Pentium II, I'm very curious to find out what would happen if someone attempted to test it on a high end Pentium Pro system since it's the first P6 core processor! Not only that, it turns out some Socket 8 motherboards support up to 1GB of EDO RAM. My extreme dream is to one day get a quad socket daughterboard and a high end PCI graphics card to remove the graphical bottleneck.
