Gus,<br>From what I have been experiencing myself with Virtualbox and VMware, 2G of system ram is enough to run your host OS and a Virtual machine (maybe 2). If you want to run multiple Virtual Machines (have Ubuntu, Windoze and Solaris *ALL*) running concurrently, then 2G is not really sufficient.<br>
<br>Thats probably clear as mud, but hopefully ok. In summary:<br>running One VM AND host OS = 2G OKAY<br>running Ubuntu VM AND Solaris VM AND Windoze VM AND host OS = 4G or more<br><br>You can install and configure all the VMs you want (hardware specs not withstanding). If you want to run one VM (ubuntu or solaris or windoze) + host OS then 2G should be ok. <br>
