Our current servers running on VMs each have right at 500 users. These run on a single vProc and 1.5GB RAM. We're planning on dropping the RAM to 1.25GB, as it's not being fully utilized (from the VM reports on active memory usage).
Is there a recommended number of users to stay under when running on VMs or is it purely dependent on the H/W?

Currently we're running about 1300-1500 per physical server and load is pretty minimal.
