When I tried to increase the JVM heap size to to 2048 Mb, it throws an exception while initializing the JVM. I have tried it on both 32-bit & 64-bit OS but was able to get the solution. Also, please tell me if installing the 64-bit JVM or JRE will solve the problem or not. Can someone also let me know, how to find which version of JRE I'm currently running?

The memory limit is here: Java maximum memory on Windows XP
The version is java -version

Thanks for your answer. However, I got the solution. It is actually the problem with the allocated memory space. As in case with 32-bit JRE, it cannot allocate memory beyond that address space on even 64-bit OS. Thus, to use memory or allocate memory beyond that address we should use 64-bit JRE. This is only when we use any java application but when we need to develop any Java application then we should use 64-bit JDK in that case. – Atulsh Oct 18 '11 at 04:38
