Running gradlew commands on a computer with 2 gigs of ram

[admiralmattbar]

I'm trying to get modding going on an old computer. Windows 7, 32-bit, 2 gigs of ram. I edited gradle.properties to get 2 gigs of ram and it crashes right away. I then edited it to get 1 gig and it locks up around 57%. Is there a workaround for not having the full 2 gigs of ram available for the gradlew setupDecompWorkspace command?

Use a different number,

Specifically, a number of megabytes inbetween. I think I had to use some odd number like 1368mb; finding a value that was less than my ram available (mind, I have 3.25gb total) and more than it needed.

(It would with crash having exceeded the amount I gave it, or would stall tyring to allocate more than I actually had, so I'd have to go in and spilt the difference)
