You'd have to try different scenarios to find out.

Personally, I run nessus in a 256 MB VMware machine and never had such problems. Typical usage, off the top of my head, is less than 100 MB for the same configuration (16 x 10). You might want to check your process status when you scan (using ps).

My kernel kills nessus if it runs over max memory in the system.
Currently  have 1gig in system.
Running 16 Hosts scanned, 10 security checks per host.

How much memory do you need for each nessus instance?
Eg:
"Maximum simultaneous Hosts scanned"

and how does this setting have an effect on the memory usage, and what
shoul it be set to:

"Maximum simultaneous Security checks per host"
