When playing, I keep running out of memory. have to quit and rejoin, and then it happens again a little while later. I searched it up but to not much avail - can anyone tell me how to assign more memory for Java/Minecraft?

Change your distance to normal from far to normal
Problem solved
(For me anyway )

I solved this problem by re-downloading Java, and making sure i had the correct version for my OS, which i needed the 64bit version, but automatically in the past gave me 32bit, downloaded updated 64bit version, installed, restarted pc. no more out of memory error.

I think my view distance is at normal
ANd I think react might be right.....I have 64bit OS and only 32bit Java

can also try to change your java runtime parameters that solved the same problem for me a while back, also if your pc isnt that good it can also be caused by a HD texture pack like 214x214 or 512x512 texture pack

update your java, I run mc on my laptop with a single 1.7Ghz cpu and 2Gb of ram, plus a crapload of apps (chrome, outlook, firefox and a few other) with view set to normal and runs "nice"

I tried the java runtime thing before and it didnt help really....
I turned off the sound and stuff like that, and it seems to be working now.
Also, my laptop has an Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.00 GHz processor, 6GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GT520M 1GB graphics card,
so I think I'm fine in that department
