Thanks for your input grindle! well i used to use the vanilla minecraft and i would launch it with the command: java -Xmx2048m -Xms2048m -jar minecraft.jar and when i used that it would allocate the max 2 gigs and when you press F3 it says 2 gigs of the total 2 gigs are allocated. so yes you can set the minimum, but in a sense you are right as well because the program will only take what it needs but it wont take anymore thats allocated (obviously) and for me with technic it says i have 2 gigs of ram free for minecraft but it only allocates 286 megabytes. I am bad at explaining things so i hope that made sense

Thanks for the attempt but like i said in the first post, i already tried using that and it says: WARNING: Rebooting with [java, -Xmx2048m, -classpath... etc so when i try to change it through terminal or something my command gets overridden by some other file and only ends up using -Xmx, which is as you stated the maximum value, not the minimum and i want to know if i can change that file that overrides my command and add a -Xms1024 to it

i understand that there is the option to allocate more ram on the launcher like i have said in my post. but allocating it that way only changes the max amount of ram that minecraft can use, i want to change the minimum amount of ram and my computer is 64 bit and i have 8gigs of ram. also i tried your suggestion of allocating less but unfortunately it did not work for me. i just wanna change the minimum amount of ram that the launcher starts with

Launcher Version: 0.5.4.8 i think Operating System: Mac Osx, not sure how to be descriptive Java Version: i have java 7 but also java 6 in both 64 and 32 bit, minecraft only works off of java 6 64 bit for some reason but thats irrelevant. Antivirus Program: Description of Problem: Alright so i play through this launcher alot and i frequently get massive lag and out of memory problems. Even though i allocate 2gigs from the technic launcher options section, when i press F3 it says 2036M total and only 186M allocated. I hear people say that if minecraft needs more memory then it will take it from that total and allocate more, but the problem is that it doesn't. So i understand that using the command "java -Xmx2048m -Xms2048m java tekkit.jar(or whatever else)" will raise the MINIMUM amount of allocated memory to minecraft. when i do this though it igores my command and reboots with the value of -Xmx2048m and it does not use the Xms command which changes the minimum allocation of ram as we all know. So simply said: i wanna know if theres a way i can launch the technic launcher with more minimum ram. is there some sort of file that says which command to input and if i can access that and add a -Xms2048m? anything would be appreciated.
