This value may always be adjusted after the VM has been created. Select Display, and set the video memory as desired.† – In VirtualBox 6.1, VT-x/AMD-V is assumed to always be available. (See notes above about hardware virtualization being required in the host system.) Leave all other System settings at their defaults. This should be the default setting for an OS/2 machine type.
