Yes, it totally depends on what you are doing and how much RAM each VM needs (and how fast your storage is). My experience is that CPU is significantly underutilized in my environment. I figure a quad core CPU can handle maybe 100+ GB worth of machines. Obviously, most of my VMs are mostly idle.

So, 32GB ram is my true bottleneck?
4GB For the server. 2GB per VM = 14 VMs?

Yes, Memory is *ALWAYS* the bottleneck.
