I happen to have lying around a dual 3.6G Pentium Xeon box with 4GB of RAM and plenty of hardware RAID1 Storage wrapped up in a shiny 1U Server with 4 gig NICs.  I did a minimal Debian install last night and installed the latest 3.1 Xen, it's a screamer.

How about NetBSD domUs too?
(though you kinda have too much RAM for that)

Even in a GNU/Linux domU case, I'd be interested if the price is
reasonable.

You might look at vps-choice.tld (yeah, I'm too lazy to jfgi)
for pricing stuffs.

That's so big I'd want it across multiple domUs.
I have anywhere from 48MiB to 256MiB for my domUs
here at home. Storage ranges from about 1GiB to 24GiB.
