high memory is required for all memory configurations
above 1GB of physical memory on x86 archs ...

well, basically I'm happy if you do some heavy
stress testing, with around 30-40 vservers or similar
there are some 'stress' tools and/or methods I can
provide to do additional stability tests ...

remote access to the machine, to figure out the details
...
