Ok, then I'm set for now. Does anyone know the rate that this increases so it doesn't fall below the "overkill" threshold?

Whats the amount per VM?

next month 384 will barely be overkill 
time to bust out the 32gb sticks

they are only 1300 each

That answer depends on what I'm running in it. At this point, I could give each VM 24gb each and still have 24 left over for the host OS.
Most of my CentOS clients are 512mb to 1g. Windows "desktop" versions are 1g-2g depending on what they are doing. Windows server versions are 4g+.

IMO id say until the avg per VM falls under 1-2GB its overkill

Wouldn't the average VM be getting larger?
Also, if it wasn't clear to anyone reading the thread, I ordered 192gb of RAM for my server. Twelve of these, to be specific: Samsung 16GB PC3-12800R (DDR3-1600) ECC registered, Model M39B2G70BH0-CK0

You said you can do 24GB to each VM and host now, so until that shrinks to below whatever is acceptable to you, then Im sure its fine.
How much does that motherboard support?

Darn, you saw the other thread. Here is 196gb of ECC Registered server RAM.
The server is prepping for stability testing as I type this. I'll let it run for a bit to make sure everything is set and ready to go. I did have one stick that the board refuses to work with, so I'm going to RMA it. Speaking of which, this board has an interesting feature. It tests all the RAM modules individually at startup and isolates any broken/unstable ones. When it finishes the POST, it tells you exactly which stick is having problems. Never had a board do this before and it saved me a ton of troubleshooting time.

The engineer who designed that is going straight to heaven.
Is this going to your Opty server? What are you going to do with the sixty four gigs of extra RAM? Or is this for your PEs?

Ok. That's ridiculous. 175GB of RAM. That's ridiculous. 
And awesome. Ridiculously awesome.
