Cant allocate more RAM even with java 64 bit

[nicolas_x]

I ve got a Sony Vaio laptop with 8 GB RAM and a 64 bit version of java, but cant allocate more than 1 GB RAM.

 

I ve tried to reinstall java 4 or 5 times without any result.

 

I m using the build 439.

 

 

PLEASE HELP ME !!!

The tracker is the right place to go for help with this, not this forum.

 

Long story short though, if you cannot allocate more than 1GB RAM then you are not using 64 bit java (try removing all the 32 bit versions and seeing if that changes anything, you can put them back afterwards).  Post on the Tracker after trying that if it's still not working.

You probably have 32 bit java or outdated version(java 4-5 even 6 can cause problems)

Chose here the 64bit one and download

EAS, this issue was already resolved. You would have seen this from the link provided by them to their tracker report.

(for future forum travellers the problem was a 32 bit JDK installation hadn't been removed.  Remember it doesn't have to be the basic java runtime environment, if you have the developers environment that's still Java!  Remove that too and put it back afterwards if you need it - you may for your web browser.)
