1.8 RAM Help
Hey guys, I am using a 6 GB RAM on my computer, and I put java to run all 6 GB of RAM, but when I press F3, it says it only uses 910 MB of memory max. It also says that it is using only from 8-300 MB of RAM. How do I make it run around 2 GB of RAM. I am getting a lot of lag from it also.

if you have windows 7 do this:
1. go to start menu
2. go to control panel
3. go to programs
4. click java
5. click java tab in top left
6. click view
7. in "runtime perimeters" type (-Xms1024m) <--- no parenthesis
(1024 = 1GB, 2048 = 2GB, etc.)
8.click ok
9. click apply
10. click ok again

how do you dedicate ram to java?
It doesnt sound like a ram problem. My computer has only 4 gigs of ram and hosts a server of 5 with no lag. Do you have a decent graphics card?
Now I'm lagging on normal, time for short...
how come minecraftin browser isnt working
I now have it running on 2GB and I am playing on far, and its not lagging at all. Thanks guys!
Java doesnt need all 6GB of ram to run it, the lagg could be coming from your operating system not having ANY RAM to run on.

F3 shows nothing about how much java is using. Ignore it. Task manager gives you a small idea *roughly*.
Take Java off running 6Gb RAM immediately. You need at least 1Gb of RAM for your operating system.
Anything more than 2Gb is overkill.
