VMWare Per Client Ram Allocation

I've got VMWare running 2x Xubuntu clients on my Q6600 for individual SMP folding. I've got it right now set to give each VM 768megs ram, but this seems to be kind of a lot more than would be needed. What kind of ram allocation do you VMWare users generally give to individual VMs?

 
I used the same allocation as you and fixed my issue by getting 4 Gb ;) With rock bottom prices on DDR2, why not ??
 
yea i'm running 4 gigs myself, but figured i'd trim it down as much as possible since some of my development stuff takes up a shit ton of ram

 
The SMP client needs around 400 meg, so 500 meg is probably as low as you want.
Its all a question do you want the client to page to the hard drive or run it compleatly in the memory.

I'm worse than you two, my VM clients see 1024 meg each and the SMP sees 999 meg of that.
Linux clients:- 5x Boxen with 2 Gig, 2x 4 gig (2x VM's), 1x 6 gig (4x VM's), 1x 8 gig (4x VM's).
Windoze Clients:- 1x boxen with 4 gig.

Luck ............ :D
 
Yup, just for kicks I’ve set it at 300 and hardly noticed any paging or a penalty in performance. Since you have the RAM 500 is a really good number.:)
