I'll try to come up with a better title later. RAM allocation for various launchers.

The following is a tutorial on allocating memory for minecraft using the LOTR mod. Please note that allocating the recommended amount of memory will require a 64-bit version of java.(Insert link to upgrading java)

Vanilla Launcher

To allocate more memory for minecraft using the vanilla launcher, click on 'Edit Profile' in the lower left corner. At the bottom of that dialogue box is 'JVM Arguments'. Remove all JVM Arguments and replace them with -Xmx2G or -Xmx2048M. The recommended amount of memory for LOTR is 2G, but if you are using a high resolution texture pack you should allocate more. Likewise, if your computer is limited on memory, you may want to allocate less to be sure that your operating system and other programs have enough memory.

Technic Launcher

To allocate more memory for minecraft using the technic launcher, click on 'Launcher Options' at the top right corner. Then click on the 'Java Settings' tab and from there you can change the amount of memory to your liking. The recommended amount of memory for LOTR is 2G, but if you are using a high resolution texture pack you should allocate more. Likewise, if your computer is limited on memory, you may want to allocate less to be sure that your operating system and other programs have enough memory.

This is what I have so far, I'll add more later. Let me know what you think of it so far.
