Basically a lot of people moving to Hyper-V is what I've heard.

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 <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.

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?

    vSphere 5 will only be limited by physical processors, not RAM or
    number of cores. Not sure where you got the 16GB limitation from.
    vSphere (What they call ESX/ESXi now) information is available
    from Vmware here:

    I've been experimenting with both the last 2 weeks. I've read that
    VMWare will have a 16GB limitation in it's next free version,
    which is pushing me to Xen/XenServer. Just ordered parts for iSCSI
    SAN.

        Xen and Vmware are pretty good.  I would not suggest using a
        Linux distro and would go with a bare metal (vsphere, xen's
        alternative)

            I have worked with Linux quite a little mainly with CentOS
            as an email
            server etc.  I was curious about trying to do some
            virtualization now.
             Leaning towards FOSS.  Seems like OpenVZ is easiest to
            implement but
            also looking at KVM and XEM also.  Seems that CentOS 6 will be
            focusing on KVM.  What else is everyone doing here?
