    It depends on what else will be running on the server. 2GB for the OS on a server with 3 instances seems a little low to me. I would start with leaving at least 3-4GB free, monitor, and then increase a little at a time from there until you reach a stable config.

    That sounds like too much for SQL. See chapter 4: http://www.simple-talk.com/books/sql-books/troubleshooting-sql-server-a-guide-for-the-accidental-dba/
