If you plan to use solely for messaging and not for additional MDS applications, that should be fine. If you're running the DB services locally(MSDE/DQLExpress) I'd expect your top end to be ~400 users depending on how much your other VM's are hitting disk and CPU. RIM's guidance is that exact configuration for 500 users with a locally installed DB Service.

Right now the BES is sitting on a Win2K3 VPS with 1.5GB RAM, sharing a 2GHz Xeon quad processor with two other VMs. I wonder how many devices could sync to a VM like this. We're aiming at a minimum of 125. Do you think this is realistic?
