Allocating more ram doesn't work

I now am using version 1.8, I can play for about 1-2 minutes before the game starts freezing. I changed texture packs back to default and lowered all options to the minimum just to see if that helped. It did not. I then pressed F3 and realized that the memory was maxing out every time it froze and that memory allocation was at 100% of 499M. I looked over several tutorials and each one makes it seem so easy yet this is where I am having a problem.
Using the launcher, (version 1.5.3), I tried to edit a profile by selecting JVM Arguments like all the tutorials say to do. But when I put in -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M it gives me the message:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M
If I try to just put -Xmx2048M, the game will start, but when I press F3 it shows that memory allocation was at 100% of 499M. I can't allocate additional memory to avoid minecraft from freezing and I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to what to do.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this, but I've been trying to figure out how to fix this for a couple of days now and I don't know where to go next.

Open Minecraft ( make sure this is the only one ) go to "Edit Profile" on the bottom there is a "JVM Agruments". Depending on how much ram you have on your computer is what you should set it to. If you're using mac/Linux not too sure how to check ram on the computer. But if you're using windows go to start right click on computer then click properties should pop open a window showing your ram. If you have 4GB+ you should be okay to run Minecraft on 2GB. Now go back into your Minecraft replace what ever is on the right of "JVM Agruments" with this: -Xmx2G
Done deal, should work fine.

I think I may have found the problem. In my snooper settings Theres is 2 JVM arguments:
jvm_agrs[1] -Xmx2048M
jvm_agrs[2] -Xmx512M
why would there be 2 of them, isnt the 512M stopping the 2048M to work? Could that be why the allocation of memory is always 512M even if I added 2048M.
jvm_agrs[1] -Xmx2048M
jvm_agrs[2] -Xmx512M

Yes I know Xmx is the max and Xms is the min and no matter what amount I use it gives me:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M
And whats the batch file you were talking about?

Yes I tried it and yes I googled it, they all concluded with them having 32-bit version of java with 64-bit operating system

Xmx is the max amount, xms is the minimum (tbh, I'm not sure why a minimum exists), it doesn't make sense for xmx to equal xms.
If possible, use more.
Also, I wonder if it matters what amount you use in the batch file. I made mine the same but am not sure if it makes a difference, I now know that the one in versions is the one to use.

-Xmx2048M -Xms2048M is the JVM argument. It still doesnt work if I change around the numbers
1
Did you try? Also, have you googled this issue? There's a guide to it on the MCForums and probably lots of other places.

I mixed up those numbers I believe. Try setting it to -Xmx2048M -Xms1024M

What are your exact runtime arguments?

I tried it but this message pops up:

Initial heap size set to a larger value than the maximum heap size
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M

Set it to something like
or
-Xmx1024M -Xms2048Mor
-Xmx2048M -Xms3072M1
