Right but Java cannot use all available process memory because of the way the heap is organized. It also needs some machinery for the runtime and GC and the JIT loaded at all times. And I seem to recall... isn't Pre-7 Windows the one that only gives userspace access to like 2/3 the actual memory to speed up syscalls by keeping all that stuff resident in process? Or am I getting that confused with older linux?
Starting FTB with more RAM on 32 bit?? (Slider doesnt go above 1GB)

Yep, you're right. Derp.
No worries. A big part of the issue is the memory that'll end up being reserved for internal graphics, and the like.
Thankfully, 32-bit is nearly dead and buried!
I believe that is an older linux kernel issue, but I am not sure. I do know it isn't a Windows issue I've heard of as such.
And yes, Java can, at most, access 2GB of memory per process in 32-bit windows if I remember from my testing correctly.
I've found that it chokes after 1024MB though, so that is usually the best place to call the hard limit on 32-bit.
On the other hand, 64-bit Java handles 8Gb swimmingly.
Guys. Stop making fun of my 32 bit computer lol. Is it my fault I'm poor! Anyway thanks
You'd have to have a pretty old computer for it to not have any 64-bit support at all. Are you rocking a Cyrix-powered ugly stick?
Yea, look up "How to dual boot" on Google. But if you don't understand it completely, I suggest not to do it since it can possibly mess up your system
Try mowing you neighbor's lawn for some extra cashGuys. Stop making fun of my 32 bit computer lol. Is it my fault I'm poor! Anyway thanks
At least that's how I used to get my money Lool it is compatible (although it's... 7... years old XD) but no installation cd or anything

In the UK people aren't as awesome and don't let you do that xDTry mowing you neighbor's lawn for some extra cash
I'm curious now...Would you mind posting your specs?Lool it is compatible (although it's... 7... years old XD) but no installation cd or anything

On a 32bit system java is only allowed to use roughly 1.4 to 1.5 GB of RAM. The current launcher unfortunately doesn't work so well with 32 bit java and its memory settings. Thats why it is restriced and to prevent strange things from happening when you set the allocated RAM to the max allowed.
