I have new computer capable to run all newest games (except Minecraft).
My specs are:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
CPU Type (processor)
--Intel Core i3 3220 CPU @3.3 GHz duo-core.
RAM
--4096 MB
Motherboard
--Some modern one, that supports i7 Intel processors too :D
Graphics
--GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Hard Drive
--80 GB HDD (don't need huge hard disks :p)
Audio
It has sound :p

Processor and RAM were both rated 7.2 by system, and graphic card got 7.4

But even without any mods and with 1.5 GB allocated memory I still get out of memory crashes
on Far setting...

What I can do? Play at minimal settings?

How much you got allocated?
Now I changed lines in .bat file to: "%programfiles%\java\jre6\bin\javaw" -Xmx512M -Xms512M -jar minecraft.exe

It treats like Xmx was at one GB and Xms not defined - it builds up over time.
No out of memory crashes for now.

EDIT: Turned all settings to max, render distance is on Far.
No crashes for now. Looks like MC/Java/OpenGL/something doesn't like allocating lot of memory.

Perhaps you should try playing on a lower fog distance, and see how that runs.

Could be that it has nothing to do with the fog distance. :eek:
Its recommended in the optifine thread to set it to 512, might be optifine that does it, not sure.
I set that to 512. No crashes for now.
And all settings are on maximum.
