I see VPS vendors talking about "burstable" ram. What exactly does this mean?

Burstable RAM is RAM your VPS has the ability to use but isn't guaranteed to. Basically it's for spikes in usage not consistent usage like Guaranteed RAM.

I guess I'm really asking what settings determine the burstable ram?

Type this command in your VPS, "cat /proc/user_beancounters".

Privvmpages is burstable RAM, vmguarpages is guaranteed RAM. (Those are the two different settings)
