In previous posts about the memory limit of the JVM, people noted that they
could not start ImageJ with limits over 1700MB. On my machine, it is about 1408
(1472 already does not work). Is there any way around this (eg, a more recent
JVM, or an option that can be set)?
Since I now have 3GB or RAM, it would be nice if ImageJ could use it.
Also, is the situation any better under Linux?

Thanks in advance for any information on this subject.
