For this error, different YP version supports different host, you can:

$ find poky/ -name 'poky.conf'

And then check SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS, if you use one of them, it should be
pretty easy to setup the build.

We don't have exactly data on this, this depends on parallel builds, at
minimum, I think that 2GB would be OK, but it would be very slow.

VM Box is OK, but you need set more processors and memory, the more the faster.

64bit.
