I was actually asking @314, but Windows 8 requires a minimum of 2GB of Ram in order to operate. Ya if you are having FPS problems, especially if you are running a laptop, there is not much to do because laptops have hardware caps on them to prevent the computer from crashing. The only thing that you can do like both 314 and I stated is install optifine and increase the RAM allocated to Minecraft.
Ya like I stated windows 8 takes a lot more RAM then all the previous generations so more RAM is needed to run everything... I really am looking forward to seeing what they are doing with Window 9 or what ever they are calling it.
Just to add on to this some of the really really old apple computers took like 10 bites of ram which come before kb. This is a actual quote from Steve jobs a long time ago "Computers will never need more then 25b of ram." nowa days some computers take billions times that amount.
I personally am not a fan of MAC's just because of how overpriced they are. However the one main thing that Mac's (which is a Unix based OS aka cousin to Linux) is that they OS does not take as much RAM to operate the system even with all the add-ons like iphoto, imovie, etc..., I think that newer MACBooks only take around 512MB-1GB of RAM to operate.
