OAO7 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 With a new computer with the best processor, and the second best graphics card, i wouldn't expect to have any problems running hexxit. But sure enough, minecraft always runs out of memory in around 10 minutes. when i go to the settings, it only allows me to select a max amount of ram as 1GB, despite the fact my computer has 8GB on standby. Why is this? My friends are able to select up to 5GB, but me just one??? How can i allocate more?? thanks -*signature stolen by Signature Gnomes* Quote
Dash16 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 You're running a 32-bit OS. If you have 8Gb of RAM, you really need to be running a 64-bit OS. Quote

dwwojcik Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 The problem may be that you have a 64 bit OS but only 32 bits of java. In that case you simply need to uninstall 32 bit java and install 64 bit java. Quote

dwwojcik Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 yea i just check my specs, i have a 64 bit windows 7 Yeah, I used to have that problem. It's also a good idea to only have one version of Java on your computer, although if you use a 32 bit browser you will want to keep your 32 bit installation as well. Just go to www.java.com and follow the steps. Its simple enough. Quote

dwwojcik Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 o_O That's a lot of RAM. 2GB is plenty for me, but whatever floats your boat. You may need it for Hexxit. Quote
