EDIT: THIS IS A DOUBLE POST, GO THE ORIGINAL
Minecraft keeps crashing, giving me an error saying it the Java Virtual Machine ran out of memory. When I open Task Manager to watch the Physical Memory Usage History as I play the game, I see the line steadily rise until it hits the 1.6 GB mark, then Minecraft craps out on me. The thing is, this error only happens on a new Adventure map I downloaded. The RAM usage on my native single-player maps even out at about 1.5 GBs. I've never had any issues with memory until today, so I think it might be something to do with the map, but I don't know how that's possible.
What could be causing such a funky error, and how do I fix it? Also, how to I allocate more memory usage to the Java Virtual Machine?
My system specs:
nVidia 9800GTX+
2GB DDR2 RAM
2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo
Vista Basic 32 bit
Minecraft 1.8.1
