It depends a lot more on what kind of sites you are hosting than the actual
number.

Are you performing a lot of CGI, PERL or DB work?  Are you planning on doing
so in the future?

What is your current load (number of sites, etc.) vs. your load average,
memory usage, etc?  Spit out the contents of /proc/meminfo, run uptime, top,
etc. to get an idea of how your machine is handling its current load.

Its fairly safe to say that 32M isn't going to be a good amount of RAM to
run very many sites of any complexity and traffic load.  RAM is cheap, and
I'd really suggest getting all you can afford (256M should really be the
standard configuration).
