Two things to remember: Make sure the guest operating systems support the amount of memory you configure. E.g. 32-bit operating systems usually don't support more than 4 GB. In addition to this leave some memory unallocated for the ESXi host. Although memory management on the host works well, I usually "reserve" 2-3 GB for the host (i.e. don't assign to VMs).

I see. What amount of RAM allocation do you recommend for file server that have about 20 people or so people should have? What amount of RAM allocation should I have for the following VM servers? I have a total of 48GB of physical memory.
- File server - for about 20 people
- Web server - for about 30 people
- Oracle server - for about 15 people
- Domain server - for about 20 people
