hello! when i try to allocate more ram to minecraft i get an error!
Error: could not create the java virtual machine.
Error: a fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
right now my computer only has 3 gig ram. (windows 7 pro) but i have a 3gig g card.. i know i need to buy more ram but can anyone help me as of right now! it wont even let me use 1.5 gig!
Java 32-bit's limitation is that allocation can go up to only ~1.5GB before erroring. Please install 64-bit Java if you wish to allocate more, this is if you have a 64-bit system. The amount of RAM installed on your system has nothing to do with this though.
Also note that you do not need more than ~500mb of RAM allocated for Minecraft for the vanilla game. There is simply no need for it as Minecraft will rarely use more than that. And giving it more will not improve performance, contrary to popular belief.
