You cannot allocate more than 1.5GB of memory to a java application when using a 32Bit Operating System. This is for two reasons. -The memory limit is 4GB for your machine as a 32bit Windows 7 Operating System. You needd to use 1024M in your startup line until you're running a 64Bit OS. -The other reason is because you're on a 32Bit OS you cannot properly use a 32Bit JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to start your bukkit server up with the wanted allocation of memory. Any other questions?
I recommend using a 64-bit version of Java, or simply updating your OS to a 64-bit version assuming you're home-hosting your server. Try assigning 1GB RAM using the command below and it should work fine. Remember you can't assign more RAM then your PC has.. java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar craftbukkit.jar nogui
