Problem with the hub

Hey guys
Recently I got a new computer (specs below, if you're interested) and built it. It's fairly high-end, and runs MC with no mods and 1G of RAM at around 250-ish FPS in the MCSG lobby.
I went to my Nvidia settings and set V-Sync in that, because if you set it in your MC settings it resets each time you launch the game in full-screen. (I use full-screen because it makes the GUI scale go up 1 more, which makes me happy :p)
My computer serves me beautifully for the first game. (Render distance normal, no particles or smooth lighting, max FPS, fast graphics) I win after a 33 minute game, get killed off spawn, doesn't matter. It works FINE for the first game.
The troubles start after I join my second game. Either in the lobby or pre-game my MC starts to get random lag spikes, one after the other. The first lasts around 2-3 seconds, there's a 5 second gap then it happens again, over and over until I decide to restart MC. When this happens to me in-game, it annoys me a LOT. I've WRECKED my ratio over the past fortnight because of this.
I've tried installing OF, stopping other processes, using Razer Game Booster, but I can't set more RAM, because I'm using Win-7 32-bit.
I really don't want to restart my minecraft every time I finish a game, so if anyone's had this problem in the past, help me please!

PC specs-
Intel Core i5 4670k
Nvidia GeForce GTX 680ti
8G of Corsair DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 32-bit

I had the same problem. All you got to do is allocate more ram to MineCraft. I don't know why it is like that, because usually 1GB is enough... I still have some problems with it, but try to allocate more memory. Since you have 8GB of ram try to allocate 2-4GB to minecraft. Then it should work just fine. :)

Allocate more ram. Some times this problem can be server problems. MCSG servers are having a lot of problems lately so everyone is getting then too. Also this problem can be caused from your internet connection.

but I can't set more RAM, because I'm using Win-7 32-bit.
That there is your problem. 32 bit operating systems can only use up to 2GB of RAM. So your other 6GB is sitting redundant, not being used, and can't be used unless you upgrade to 64 bit.

You have a great computer lol, but you aren't putting it to using it to it's best potential as it can't utilise all of it's RAM. :)

So do I have to upgrade to 64 bit? I kinda stretched the bank already :(
So should I get Win 7 or Win 8 64 bit? I've got Windows 8 on my school computer and (NO HATIN) it's pretty good. Should I wait for 8.1 to come out or does it get pushed to all Win8 users?

I say go with Windows-7 64 bit. It is simply just off of personal opinion though.

Well, it's really up to you. If you still have the Windows 7 that you bought/came with your computer, it will have a 64 bit option (they aren't sold separately, you get to choose which option when you very first install it.So it would require a reinstall.) So it's really up to you if you want Win 7 or 8, personally I prefer 7 but I know lots of people who love 8 too. And yep, if you were to get 8 now it will update to 8.1 for free.

Lol, my dad works at a computer company and he brought home the disc and code from one from his work :p
So I can't upgrade to 64 bit. I'm leaning for Win8, simply because 8.1 looks so cool and I've heard that the OS uses power and that better, placing less strain on my PSU.
Opinions? Which ones do you guys like, and why?
EDIT: This makes me wonder, why does Microsoft even bother with coding a 32 bit OS? What's the advantage of having a 32 bit OS? If they're gonna bundle both in when you buy it, what's the point?
btw, 169th post :p

I would say 7, but I haven't seen 8.1. And eventually programs are not going to support 7, etc. So 8 is probably smarter. As for the performance you mentioned, your computer is powerful enough to easily handle either, so unless you really plan straining it the OS performance should not influence it very much.
The reason that both 32 and 64 bit versions are bundled is because if you have 2gb or less ram, 32 is the better option. Also, some programs only run on certain versions (internet browsers only run on 32 bit, 64 bit OSs include 32 when you install it anyway.), so people who use a certain program may want it specifically.

Programs will stop supporting 7 when windows 10 comes out
