Depends on what you do. As you are emulating a full OS- it needs the full 
ammount of memory requitred for its job. For example- Windows runs best with 
at least 32M, so I would give a VM running windows 32M.  How does it allocate 
memory? I havnt run VMWare in a while, but seems to me it just took the full 
chunk of requested memory out of the host memory, and allowed the guest OS 
access to it.  Someone correct me if I am wrong.
