Programming Game Development by Hassan_62 I'm hosting a Minecraft server on a PC with 4GB RAM and an Intel Core i3, but it's lagging with 3+ players. How can I optimize it? Should I adjust Java arguments, tweak server.properties, or switch to PaperMC? Any tips to reduce mob/entity lag? Re: How to Optimize Minecraft Server for Low-End PC? Programming Game Development by rproffitt Such optimizing tips are on the web ready for those that look. And I've heard such even with high end hardware like the i9, 64GB RAM and SSDs so lag will always be with you. As to your server, it is what it is. Enjoy it till you can get a better one. Also consider trying a lightweight Linux OS. Re: How old is your computer?

Hardware and Software macOS by Dani I think you're referring to physical memory (hard drive space) and not random access memory (RAM). Using up all your hdd space can make your phone go slower. RAM is transient and is just the memory the apps you currently have open at the time are using. The amount of RAM you use goes down when you close out of apps or restart your phone. Re: Why my iPhone runs so slow recently? Hardware and Software macOS by Ja sa bong This usually happens when the RAM of your iPhone is almost exhausted. It is one of the reason why any smartphone will start being very slow and lagging when you're trying to use it for anything. Also, you should try and upgrade your phone after using it for 2 years as it behaving this way. How old is your computer? Hardware and Software by Dani Inquiring minds want to know.

My husband, however, is an engineering manager at Apple and he declared that we have an Apple-only household. Alas, the Dell started really showing its age, and my Macbook is actually more performant.

Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim I should also mention (as I detailed in another thread), my previous ASUS had to be returned for refund because of a problem (second internal drive bay would not work) that ASUS claimed was fixed after being sent back for repairs, but was still broken when I got it back. Also, my wife's ASUS is flakey. I bought the two laptops after having a … Re: How old is your computer? Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim >he declared that we have an Apple-only household Sounds more than a little heavy-handed but I can sympathize. Windows computers have to allow for "any hardware/anywhere", causing no end of quirks and compatibility problemd, whereas Apple is more of a closed ecosystem.

It stems from a place of just being very proud of the work he does (he leads the team that is responsible for battery life across all Apple devices), and wanting his household to use the products that he took an active role in working on.

Hardware and Software by Reverend Jim I stick with Windows because of long familiarity at the office. After years of networking/sysadmin and dbadmin I just had too much invested in MS.
