It really is just simple math. You have 6 Gb RAM on the host machine. If you run 2 guest instances (virtual machines) with 2 Gb RAM assigned to each one (2 x 2 = 4 Gb), you end upwith 6 - 4 = 2 Gb available for your host system.

If low memory becomes an issue, you can either install more RAM (if your system can support more RAM) or edit your virtual machines and assign them less RAM.
