Well seeing as HP IVM 4.0 only comes out in September, you must be running 3.0 or 3.5 on your host
Each VM can have up to 4 vCPU's.
For memory, you need to take 750-1000MB, plus approximately 7.5% of the remaining memory past the 1st GB, so I generally say take the 1st GB, then take 10% of the remaining Memory, and what is left is the physical memory available for use in the VM's
This is all documented in the manuals
