What is the -Xmx limit for jdk1.4 on windows?

843829Nov 2 2007 — edited Nov 9 2007

Hello,

I'd like to know what is maximum amount of memory that can be allocated to the JVM 1.4 on windows? I experimented a bit and reached -Xmx1140m. Anything above that gives
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx...
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

I think I was able to reach Xmx1536m once, but not any more, and don't know if anything affects this Xmx setting. I tried to increase maximum size of windows virtual memory to 8gigs but it did not help.

Thank you.
