My recollection was off, looks like 8GB vRAM. Saw it scanning through HardForum: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1623471.
Also lots of discussion in the VMWare forums: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+site:communities.vmware.com+vsphere+5+vRAM+limitation Seems to be some contradicting information, Free version will have a vRAM entitlement of 8GB. http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere-hypervisor/faq.html http://rickardnobel.se/archives/620 Looks like that may be per CPU? http://communities.vmware.com/message/1795372#1795372 After reading the pricing document, FAQ, and the threads listed above, it looks like the free version will allow 8GB vRAM per physical CPU, but this is not a hard limit? Trying to digest all of that, perhaps you can clarify?
