I may be setting up a private Minecraft server, low user usage (2-4 people online during most peak times). From my reading, RAM seems to be a big issue. There are the 'recommended' published levels, but...
From anyone out there who have run it on a VPS (either Linux or Windows) how much dedicated / Burst RAM do you think would be required for a *good* game experience?

The more the better. You need to make sure that you find a VPS company that does not over sell, or you will get crashing problems since minecraft is a resource hog.
You should also go with a host that specializes in minecraft hosting such as creeperhost.net.

Do you think 2GB is enough?

Absolutely. That is more than enough for a few people. Take account though that other factors come in such as the size of your world.

I'm able to run a mc server for a 2-3 people with bukkit on a 512mb windows vps, so 2GB should be more than enough, especially if you're using Linux.

Wow. Amazing. 512mb? Is that dedicated or burst? If it is dedicated, do you have some additional burst memory?
Has anyone else had this experience with 512MB for minecraft?

Yes, my personal box with friends peaks at about 1.5GB from time to time. We usually have less than 10 online concurrently.

With a handful of plugins you should be looking at about 100MB RAM usage per player.

2 - 4 GB RAM should suit the needs for MineCraft, it's doesn't need a great amount of RAM but 2 - 4 GB would ensure that there are no problems.

I've ran MineCraft on a BuyVM OpenVZ VPS with 512mb dedi/1024 burst. I've had 8 people on there with no problem.

512mb should be fine, you'll do better on KVM or Xen than OVZ due to the way the .18 OVZ kernel handles memory allocation.

If it's vanilla 256MB of RAM will work for a few people. With bukkit aim for around 512MB.
Been hosting minecraft servers for almost two years now.
