Question About Memory Requirements

Using a program called Virtuoso, you can turn a single server into multiple virtual servers. If you start off with 4GB of memory, I was wondering how many virtual servers you could make (from a practical perspective). Each server would be running a small app that opens a browser window, logs into a web site, takes a screen shot, and logs out.

Is 32 servers with 128MB each feasible in terms of the memory resources required for this kind of application?
 
You need to allow memory for the host OS and some overhead for the management, if you dedicate all 4G to the VMs the system will run like crap. Also I would assume that you only have 1 or 2 CPUs so the VMs will probably end up fighting over the CPU a lot with 32 of them.

And remember you'll need to run a full OS plus whatever your screenshot app requires, is 128M enough for that in a normal situation? And on top of that you'll need licenses for all 32 copies of the OS that you plan to run in there.
