Can't add memory of eclipse

My machine has more than 3G free memory. But when I set Xmx and -XX:MaxPermSize to about 800M in eclipse.ini, I can't open eclipse, with an error "failed to create the Java Vitual Machine" . Anyone ever meet this problem?

You are running the 32-bit version of Eclipse. Try to run the 64-bit one. You can find your version in eclipse.ini: look for x86_64 string(usually on fourth line). The only x86 means you have 32-bit installation. Also don't forget install 64-bit Java.
