This is very true! I had the eco plan with godaddy and it came with 256 mb guaranteed and 1 gb of "burst". My sites don't get that much traffic at all, but I still found that my apache and mysql was constantly crashing every other night.
Lesson learned, never rely on something that doesn't exist. As far as i'm now concerned, "burst" memory is in the same league as "unlimited" bandwidth - just another marketing gimmick.
