How do I add RAM into my server?

I host my minecraft server on a computer with 1 GB of ram. And yes, my computer has 4GB and core i3, but somehow upgrading to 64-bit is... well I just can't, help for alternatives besides buying a host?

NOTE: I HAVE 32 BIT

 

Do you use a .bat file to start your server?

If you do, right click on that file, and select Edit.

You should see something similar to this:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-1.4.7-R1.0.jar
PAUSE

You see where it says "-Xmx1024M" ?

Just change the 1024 to 2048 for 2GB of RAM, or 3072 for 3GB of RAM. You will need to save this after you edit it.

 

Wow, I know this. Why not? I totally explained that I have 32-bit, what do you not understand about that?

 

Um.. I'm not quite sure what you mean. This should be the same for both 32 bit, and 64 bit systems.

And I guess I should have asked you what Operating System that you use. What I explained was for Windows.

If you are not asking how to add RAM to your server, then why title this thread that...?


I am not quite sure what you are asking for if you do not want to increase the amount of RAM that your server uses.
Could you please clarify your question?
I assumed; because of the title of your thread, that you wanted a way to add more RAM. What exactly is it that you are asking?

 

I don't think 32-bit could actually go beyond 1.5GB... But I am trying to ask to add MORE than the 1.5 GB of ram without having 64-bit on.

 

I just googled this, and you are correct. =/
I did not know that 32Bit systems had that limit, for I have always used a 64Bit system.
I'm sorry for being of no help to you. I swear I thought I knew what I was talking about.

This is the post I saw that made me realise I was dead wrong:

I hope you can get your issue resolved. I'm still waiting for someone to help me with my problem as well.

Again, I'm sorry for wasting your time. =(

 

32 bit can go up to 4 gigsbytes (4096mb). Just increase it somewhere under or 4096mb and the server will run fine. If you want to be sure its working download essentials and execute the command:
/gc
in game. It will tell you how much ram you have, and other information.
