There's a 2GB virtual space limit for the entire process, not just the Java heap. That 2GB has to include the C heap, stacks, DLLs, launcher code, JIT-generated code from .class files, etc. Since Windows does a superb job of fragmenting the 2GB and the entire Java heap has to fit in one contiguous chunk of virtual space, it's not surprising at all that -Xmx1500m worked, and -Xmx1600m didn't. Adding more real memory has no effect on the virtual space available to the process. If you want a bigger heap, a 64-bit OS and JVM should be in your future. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
