tomixx1199 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 i bought a new computer downloaded java 32 bit update and the computer has 2 4GB sticks of ram now the default setting in the launch.exe is java -Xmx3G -Xms2G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui and that gave me the vm initialization error trying to search for a solution i found out i should try to tone it down so it was kind of trial and error loweringthe numbers till i got to java -Xmx1G -Xms500M -jar Tekkit.jar nogui and it worked the thing is my old computer had 2 2GB sticks of ram and it was 64bit my question is what is the reasoning behind all of this? i dont really know this code so im just kind of working in the dark but i would like to know why did i need to go lower with 8gb than when i had 4gb also how does this affect me? and if possible how can i increase it?

Torezu Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 1) Try to avoid the Wall of Text. It's hard to read and understand. 2) Why would you buy a new computer that only has a 32-bit OS instead of upgrading the old one with more memory? 3) A 32-bit OS can handle up to 3.5GB (or so) of RAM total, with all programs running. It's pointless to have 8GB with a 32-bit OS because it can never use more than 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
