I remember playing back in like the 1.6.4 era on a piece of garbage from 2005 with a monstrous 1GB of ram.
1.6.4 released in 2013.
I'm pretty sure I had 8 GB back then, possibly 16 GB.
I can't imagine how poorly that ran.
He is probably referring to Beta 1.6.x. I remember running 1.7.3 in 2011-2012 on a potentially 1 or 2GB RAM machine and some Nvidia 7xxx series card (7600?). It worked fine on Linux.
No reason it couldn't be Not-Beta 1.6.x besides the 1.3 singleplayer server split, which doubled memory requirements, but 1GB was enough after the split.
Nope, it was actual 1.6.4 (and probably beyond that too). It wasn't amazing but consistent 30fps with some ATI card from the time. It had a Pentium D of some sort, can't remember exactly what.
