By default my minecraft client only uses .5GBs of the 8 GBs on my computer. I'd like to increase that but I have no idea how to =/

I'm running windows 7 with 64 bit operating system.

You have no real reason to increase the heap size, Minecraft only uses how much it need to use, and it does not increase performance in any way. In any case, if you're still persistent, you can do so by changing the JVM arguments available in the profile editor.
