I did on 32 bit on Mac. Works perfectly.

The scripts have been tested on Mac OS 10.7.5, Mac OS 10.8.3, Ubuntu 12.04,
Ubuntu 12.10, and Fedora 19.
Ubuntu 12.10, Fedora 19, OpenSUSE 12.2/12.3, and Windows 7 x64 + Cygwin_x64.

VirtualBox 4.2.16 (or later) is required, along with the extension pack.
Both can be downloaded from `<http://www.virtualbox.org/>`_.

Such RAM amount per node is below the recommended requirements for HA
configurations (2048+ MB per controller) and may lead to unwanted issues.
