Allocating RAM =/= using RAM

Allocating RAM simply means that it can use it, but it using said RAM is entirely different. Also, you really shouldn't allocate more than 4GB to modded Minecraft, and 800MB to Vanilla. This is because of how Java handles garbage, it will actually slow your game down if you allocate too much. And if you really need to, set it to a higher priority in task manager.
