There, you are almost certainly running into the maximum addressable
size issue. MSDN says that /3GB will only affect applications linked
with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE, which the JVM (assuming you didn't compile it
yourself) probably won't be. /PAE won't help with the maximum space
addressable per process, just the maximum space addressable total.
See this thread[1] for a bit more on it
