how can I allocate more ram?

[omgitsfede]

Hey everyone, currently I can allocate only 1GB in the technic launcher but I need more as the attack of the b-team mod is pretty fat. Im running with java 32 bit and I have 1 stick of 8 GB. Do I just need to download java 64 bit? thanks

1) Download the latest Java 1.7 installer for 64bit Windows.

2) Uninstall all your current versions of Java using the control panel.

3) Install the newly downloaded Java.

 

Note: You don't need to assign more than 2G to play that modpack (or almost any other pack unless is might have close to 200 mods). Assigning more memory than is required to the launcher for the pack to run will actually make your experience worse since it is easy to starve the OS and other programs for memory if MC hogs too much of your physical RAM.

@crisapsi: Did you not read the thread. You have asked the same question as the OP and I answered it directly in the second post.
