This is exactly what I needed. I'm currently using the Rackspace VM that gives 4gb of ram. I wanted to switch to EC2 after they dropped prices, but I would have either had to drop down to a small (1.7gb - not an option for my workload) or up to a large (7gb - costs over $50/mo more). With all of these improvements Amazon is making, Rackspace's VM offerings are now horribly overpriced.
