forge blocking ram allowcation?

[mjtillis2006]

I'm having issues beefing up my ram allocations on my server with forge and railcraft. I was just wondering if anyone has ever had any issues with doing so and if forge played a part in not allowing it to do so. I have the latest versions of minecraft, forge, and railcraft. I was going about trying to change it by adding the .bat file as such:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar "minecraft_server.jar"

First, you shouldn't set your minimum amount of ram allocated to the maximum amount allocated!

something like this would be more appropriate:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx512M -Xms1024M -jar "minecraft_server.jar"

Based on how much memory you have you can also increase the maximum amount of ram allowed also.

If you need help converting Gb to mb: http://egret.net/kb__mb.htm

As a final tip, if i recall correctly, after 1024mb of ram java can only allocate whole #s, aka 2,3,5,7 Gb. No 2.5Gb though.

Forge or really any mod can mess with command line java ram allocation.  What makes you think it is having a problem?  How much memory is the game showing in game or so compared to normal?
