    From the manpage:

    -m [size=]megs[,slots=n,maxmem=size]
    Sets guest startup RAM size to megs megabytes. Default is 128
    MiB. Optionally, a suffix of "M" or "G" can be used to signify a
    value in megabytes or gigabytes respectively. Optional pair
    slots, maxmem could be used to set amount of hotpluggable memory
    slots and maximum amount of memory. Note that maxmem must be
    aligned to the page size.

    For example, the following command-line sets the guest startup
    RAM size to 1GB, creates 3 slots to hotplug additional memory and
    sets the maximum memory the guest can reach to 4GB:

    qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1G,slots=3,maxmem=4G

    This option only sets the memory for the virtual machine, the
    application needs additional memory.
