Minecraft only uses what it needs, and massive amounts of RAM is only needed in situations like you decide to set of a 'Big Bertha' AKA set of a massive cube/ sphere of TNT.
In which case the CPU will most likely burn itself out trying to compute it.
You really shouldn't add more RAM unless you know you absolutely needs it. Java only benefits from the amount of RAM it can use, but it still has to manage all of the RAM that it's allocated. If you have a Java application that uses 1GB and you allocate 8GB, Java will still have to manage the extra 7GB, which will make it perform slower.
Hi,
What exactly are you trying to achieve?
There is no need to add more RAM unless you need it (you rarely do - ever).

Allocate 1GB to Minecraft. That's enough.
