I can play Attack of the B-Team and Tekkit with over 30 FPS on normal settings and they each have 100+ Mods. FTB unstable only has 24 mods and on medium settings I get about 10 FPS. All the FTB modpacks lag so bad, but technic ones run fine.
Added (1). Oh yea, I put 3GB of memory on each one too, that's not the problem.
