Java crashing (2)

[Dragon352]

ok I had this problem (still have it ) and I can only solve it if I can get more ram for Java.... http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/java-crashing.28570/#post-390280

I heard from my bro that I might be able to modify it so that java will give me 2 or mabye 2&1/2 gigs of ram

anyone heard of this? and if so HOW

my bro says he knows how but he will NOT tell me
if it does not really esist just post real quick that you don't think it does
then I will have leverage to get my bro to tell me if his idea is real

(mind you... im rather nontech savvy so if possable keep it simple)

in the FTB launcher go to options and there is a slider to give more or less RAM to FTB.

 

[Dragon352]

I have already looked at that and the advanced files (sort of ... I dont understand alot of what the advanced options were saying)

and the slider is maxxed out at 1 gig of ram

 

[001100110]

??? I have the slider at 5 Gig, you should be able to move it to the rig... wait how much RAM does your CPU?

 

[Dragon352]

4 but the slider only goes to 1 gig for me becasue I only have 32 bit

or something.... I wouldent be surprised to find out that I messed up and dident press the on button right
or anything else with that degree of failure

do you have a 64 or 32 bit system?

 

[Dragon352]

already said that... I have a 32 bit... (dont know why my friend made a 32 bit and not 64..... seams as far as i know that 64 is better in just about eveyway)

Java already uses more than the 1GB of ram you assign it. What you assign is just what is known as the heap. Java uses two other memory spaces called PermGen and CodeCache. On a 32bit system, CodeCache is set at 1GB. PermGen is set to fluctuate to what's needed, which can flux to almost 1GB at times.

So with this in mind, Java is attempting to use up to 3GB of your 4GB of RAM. Since your OS and other programs are also trying to use this, your system will become memory starved.

TL,DR
Don't let your brother mess with your computer. Upgrade.

hmmm ok ..... upgrade the mother board to a 64 bit? would that do it?

 

[Eyamaz]

You need to upgrade the CPU to 64bit and upgrade the motherboard to one compatible with that CPU.

ok... as a experiment..... I moved the slider to the left..... it worked... but the game is still rather glitchy, but im still upgradeing for that reason. thanks for the help
