I recently updated the System requirements table in the Compute Admin Manual to say this:
With 2 GB RAM you can run one m1.small instance on a node or three m1.tiny instances without memory swapping, so 2 GB RAM would be a minimum for a test-environment compute node. As an example, Rackspace Cloud Builders use 96 GB RAM for compute nodes in OpenStack deployments. See http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/compute-system-requirements.html. Hope this helps.
