768 MB!!!
When I want to stuff as many VMs onto a virtual machine as possible,
RAM usage really matters. Â Particularly since RAM is currently cheap
up to about 8 GB but becomes much more expensive above that
OT: This does not seem to be the case ... I can buy 24GB for almost
the same amount (~120€) I bought 6GB 3 years ago ...
