Is your minecraft running slow? Does it need a little boost? Add more RAM!

Step 1:
Open notepad (easy enough right?)
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Step 2:
Send minecraft.exe to where ever you want it.

Step 3:
Paste into the notepad folder, the following code:

javaw -Xmx2048m -Xms1024m -jar "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Minecraft.exe

You will need to change the folder location to where you saved your minecraft.exe

Step 4:

To change to amount of RAM you would like to allocate, you will need to change the "javaw -Xmx2048m -Xms1024m" to one of the following things, depending on how much RAM you want you Minecraft to run on.

Please follow this guide to the numbers:

I want to allocate 2GB RAM
javaw -Xmx2048m -Xms1024m -jar "C:\<your minecraft directory\Minecraft.exe"

I want to allocate 3GB RAM
javaw -Xmx3072m -Xms1536m -jar "C:\<your minecraft directory\Minecraft.exe"

I want to allocate 4GB RAM
javaw -Xmx4096m -Xms2048m -jar "C:\<your minecraft directory\Minecraft.exe"

I want to allocate 5GB RAM
javaw -Xmx5120m -Xms2560m -jar "C:\<your minecraft directory\Minecraft.exe"

I want to allocate 6GB RAM
javaw -Xmx6144m -Xms3072m -jar "C:\<your minecraft directory\Minecraft.exe"

I want to allocate 7GB RAM
javaw -Xmx7168m -Xms3584m -jar "C:\<your minecraft directory\Minecraft.exe"

I want to allocate 8GB RAM
javaw -Xmx8192m -Xms4096m -jar "C:\<your minecraft directory\Minecraft.exe"
