How can I allocate more than 1024 MB of RAM to an Android Virtual Device? I want to work with 1024MB or higher RAM sizes but when I try to start my Virtual Device it is giving the error: 

Failed to allocate memory: 8


I researched many thing about this issue;

Some releated solutions are;


Manually change the AVD's .ini files etc. 
Run emulator as Administrator
Run from commant line


All of them did not work for me. 

My system is:


64bit Windows 7
i7 3610QM CPU 
8GB RAM 
2GB Graphic card


Android 4.2 is the version that I am trying to use.
In the 'Create new Android Virtual Device' window in Eclipse it says, "On Windows, emulating RAM greater than 768M may fail depending on the system load. Try progressively smaller values of RAM if the emulator fails to launch."

As answered here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8853541/why-cant-i-boot-an-avd-from-eclipse-with-1024-mb-of-ram, there is a .ini file you can edit in [username]\.android\avd[avd name.avd]\config.ini that you can edit by changing 'hw.ramSize=1024' to 'hw.ramSize=1024MB'. I tried it and it worked for me.
