Based on whats running in your task bar I assume your going to try and run both a server and the Minecraft client. If that is the case, you first need to determine how much ram your system is currently utilizing prior to starting the server, likely including how much ram the client is utilizing.
Keep in mind that additional ram will be consumed once you join the game with the client. Windows 7 along with what else is running in the back ground can use upwards of 2 gigs on its own.
So to give yourself headroom there your already looking at 6 gigs available out of 8. Next if your going to run the client you will likely want another 1 gig available for that to prevent out of memory situations or running into your paging file which will kill your computers performance. To leave enough room for additional processes to have memory I would suggest also giving yourself another 1gb of ram left available to the system for breathing room. So really your probably looking more at 4 Gigs maximum that you would want to allocate to the Minecraft server.
If your not going to run the Minecraft client you could up your server allocation to 5gigs. Default is 30 for 30 seconds. Your settings are now saved, click the Connect button, and click your new connection to open it.
