Frame rates are about 130-150 fps in small window and 80-110 with max window when setting "Advanced OpenGL" to "On". Even without "Advanced OpenGL" frame rates increase by factor 10 when looking into the sky or into the ground. I also noticed that frame rates are higher while the world is still loading in the far distance.

The GPU is not made for gaming either, don't invest in it! The Core i7 and the DDR3 memory makes a huge difference. My old machine with this SAME video card peaked 35 FPS with constant lag spikes. If you are going to upgrade your computer, focus on getting a good processor and fast memory before upgrading your video card. Why does Minecraft get more frames per second in full-screen? Because full-screen mode temporarily swaps the Windows Aero theme with Windows Basic, and also flushes drawing updates that would normally be sent to the screen (ex: the desktop and your IM client).

Vista Business SL9400 (C2D 1.86) Intel GMA 4500MHD 4GB 1280x800 Beta 1.8.1 12-30 9 multiplayer game being played on HP Elitebook 2530p laptops - unlike another reviewer with this integrated GPU family the game is very playable but in full screen (laptop LCD) best to drop render distance = normal and smooth lighting = off . FPS seems very aligned to "cleanliness" of OS (ie CPU load which makes sense), runs significantly faster on a "new" unit (for the kids as I felt tech specs for netbooks were woeful) rather than my identical spec "business" machine. Also need to be careful as to which graphic driver version to use - the latest and greatest simply crashed after playing game on both machines - completely blank screen! Back working stable with the original 2008 driver so there is possibly a better graphics driver somewhere in the middle. Plenty of small laptops were made with this CPU + GPU combo (low power = good battery life) so they all should be OK (with maybe a bit of tweaking) for Minecraft!

Arch Linux x86_64 Core i3 2310m Intel HD 3000 3go 1366*768 1.0 20-30 16-20 I get graphic artifacts in the game and the desktop since the drivers are too bleeding-edge.
Windows 7 64-BIT AMD Athlon X2 nVidia 9200 Intergrated 8GB 1440 x 900 1.0.0 193 164 I Wasn't expecting much when i bought the PC, but wow! i wasn't expecting that, the PC its self only cost me £300, it also preforms really well when running a Minecraft server with a low of 100fps and a high of 150fps! Defiantly a good buy!
Windows 7 Premium (64-Bit) Intel i7 2600k 2x Palit NVidia GeForce GTX570 (SLI-Mode enabled) 8GB DDR3 1333MHz 1920x1080 1.0.0 250-350 220-280 Despite running in SLI-Mode, the game has an issues causing that every block in the world has a purple outlining that with the distance more and more intensify. So I recommend to run this game on one single GPU! otherwise the game runs outrageously smooth and great!
