Problem

I just upgraded my IntelliJ to 14.0.3. But there's always an Out Of Memory dialog popped up to ask me to set the memory. Following is my settings: I thought it's enough. But the dialog shows from time to time, and sometimes, it's not responding that I have to shutdown it. How should I set this for IntelliJ 14? Any ideas?
