How to allocate more RAM to your Craftbukkit server!

[numanumajosh]

First of all, you'll need to download/update your JDE (Java Runtime Environment) and your JDK (Java Development Kit)
Second, you have to have craftbukkit to do this
Now follow these steps:

1)Find the craftbukkit batch file, which is probably your server starter. Should be labeled .bat

2)Right-click it and press Edit

3)As you can see, there should be something close to this

@EcHo off
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -server -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
pause

4)If you have a 32-bit computer, max amount of memory allocated can only be 1024M (1GB)

5)As you can see, where it says -Xmx1024M and -Xms1024M, the number is how much MB is allocated to your server.

6)Change this to your preference. Don't put in some random number! Try to use multiples of 512M. ex) 1536M

7)Profit!

I'm guessing this still works, lol. So I hope this will still be useful to some people.

This is stated when you first start your server with run.bat or start.bat. Anyway, for who that did not know, nice job.
