Hi Thanks for the responses, but look:

I have -m 1ith 1024 right?
but if I do a top:
1214m 364m 3360 S    0  4.5  46:55.24 kvm

so is clearly above -m
what could be the issue?
Thanks
VIRT includes a lot of shared memory, so it's not a very useful number to
look at when trying to gauge how much memory a process is using.
Ok, so then what stats should we look to calculate the amount of memory a server should have depending on how many guest VM's we will like to use?

Thanks again
