What upgrades should I consider for my laptop to extend render distance in Minecraft? Right now, I’m limited to 8-10 chunks at 40-50 fps with OptiFine. My current specs are: CPU Intel i5 3rd gen, GPU Raedon 7500m, 4GB RAM, and a 500GB SSD. I’m curious if boosting RAM to 8GB and swapping the HDD for an SSD would impact my render range. Thanks.

You won't see significant gains from adding more RAM. It's wiser to invest in a newer laptop with improved specifications (CPU/GPU and at least 8-16GB of RAM).

actually, you should consider a more powerful CPU or GPU.
