Vivacity Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Let me straight out ask the obvious. Are you aware that its a drop down menu? Now let's move on. Is more then 1 GB actually free? I don't know if that is a factor on deciding how much ram to allow for use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivacity Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Do you have 32 Bit Java or 64? Only 64 can use more then 1 GB of ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniboxer Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 how can i get 64? Sacrifice your firstborn to the god of 64 bit. When he comes to feast on the blood, pour coffee on your computer, while chanting "hail kaker." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaonnor Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Honestly after some experimenting I'm not sure it is going to matter. I played it okay for a while on 1GB and then it started freezing. Gave it 2GB and played on that for a little bit and it started maxing that out. Gave it 3GB and it eventually started maxing that out. I now have given it 4GB and it is using 85% of that. The more you give it, the more it seems to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
