Sizing memory for virtual machines appropriately

The Virtual PC Guy doles out some guidelines for appropriately sizing memory of virtual machines

I had always (mistakenly) believed that I should be throwing as much memory at my VPC as possible. I have 1.5GB of which I have 1GB given to VPC. Prior to that I had 512MB with 256MB for VPC which was quite slow. Even with more memory I haven't noticed a huge performance gain. Perhaps I've just been starving out my host system.

Good thing the memory was cheap.
