Modpack wont open! (Memory Problems)

[zackyzone]

I've been playing for a month or 2 and did not have any problems with the launcher but recently I had a huge issue that disables me to open any modpack. In the log it says "Maximum usable memory detected: 4008 mb" its not like a normal person's one where they only have 1000mb allocated to the technic launcher. I already have 64 bit java and allocated 3 GB to my technic launcher. If anyone can give me a solution please post it down below. Your help will be greatly appreaciated

• How much RAM is in your PC.
• What OS are you running?
• Which specific version of Java are you using?

I currently have 4gb of ram in my pc but I used a method to make your pc faster by using virtual ram.I am currently using Windows 8 and I am using java version 8u25 with both 64 and 32 bit java installed. I still cant figure out why the launcher does not allow me to launch any modpacks because of the cause of the max memory

Does it mean if I want to play I need to buy another ram card or something like that cause i can't afford it as I am still quite young...

java version 8u25

 

1.6.4 modpack won't run on this java version.

 

 

both 64 and 32 bit java installed

 

Not optimal. You need only the 64bit version. Uninstall 32bit java. 32bit java limits the usable memory.

So what java version should i download for 1.6.4?
