To add ram open your luancher and choose edit profile.
Then check JVM Arguments.
Change -Xmx1G to how much you want. If you want 2GB do -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M
Java 32 bit can only have up to 1.5G

CODES


1GB -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M or -Xmx1G
2GB -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M or -Xmx2G
1.5GB (32 Bit java) -Xmx1536M -Xms1536M 

You can use virtual ram or physical ram. In the picture below I used 4GB phyical ram and 146GB virtual ram.
Virtual ram uses space on your harddrive as ram. You can also use readyboost.

and to use readyboost:

But you only need about 2GB for vanilla and maybe 3-5GB for modpacks
