1GB is OK -- we have several machines that set default_ram_size to that.

If we want to handle more generally boards which have a
larger ram size by default then we probably need to
work on the 'make check' infrastructure -- right now we
have a generic test that just checks "can we instantiate
every machine model", which is what's falling over.
