How can I change or edit the way the memory is being used

Thanks for the link
I have the Hp Pavillion Dv7 Notebook PC with a Intel Core i7 - 2670QM CPU at 2.20 Ghz with 8GB of Ram and a 64 bit operating system
and as for the Graphics card I am unsure how to find it, it was my brother who looked over my computer and told me i had 1 gb of video memory and sadly he has now gone to bed lol.found it
Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics Family Total available graphics memory 1696 MB Dedicated graphics memory 64 MB Dedicated system memory 0 MB Shared system memory 1632 MB Display adapter driver version 8.15.10.2476 Primary monitor resolution 1600x900 DirectX version DirectX 10

I am using 32 bit at the moment because I cannot find a download for 64 bit that complies with my system ( which is a 64 bit operating system). where would be the best place to find the proper 64 bit download?

How do I go about increasing the allocated memory to prevent a crash?

I just bought a new computer and when Minecraft is loaded with graphics on full the game gives the error that it has run out of video memory and after the client has been restarted and played on the second time there is an instant crash. I have 1 gb of dedicated video memory and when Alt+f3 is pressed it shows no more than 500 mb being used. any solutions?
