How to Specify How Much RAM Is Used by All Virtual Machines

In VMWare workstation there are various physical memory options according to this article:

 

Memory Use on the Host

 

Can you change these options with Fusion?

 

I'm setting up a lab environment and trying to run 3 x ESXi VM's simultaneously on my Macbook Pro with 4GB of RAM.

Each ESXi VM needs to have 2 GB's allocated or it won't boot and I can't even start a 2nd VM.

I wont to tell the VM's that they have 2GB's so they boot and when they require the memory Fusion just uses a swap file instead.

My MAC is running 2 x 120 GB solid state drives so I don't really want to upgrade the memory when these drives could probably be used with swap files.

 

It looks to me that Fusion is not configurable and I can't choose to over allocate memory or configure file swapping instead.

I would like to be able to change these settings even if it causes the VM's to crash or run poorly for learning purposes.
