my answer allocate 2 gb of ram parent partition. while number might seem little bit high people, have margin of safety. common practice have antivirus , system management agents running in parent partition. these utilities cause spikes in resource usage. 2 gb of ram in parent partition, don't have fret having enough ram. if know agents , antimalware programs don't ever use ram, might want monitor usage , cut smaller number.
