I only ran two backtests simultaneously, which resulted in 8GB of memory consumption.

This could be due to:
 -- the complexity of your EA
 -- you might still be on a 32-bit operating system

 
Memory and resource usage can also be related to the method you selected for tests (1 minute hloc, tick or real tick).

Be sure tu use the fastest needed by your EA.

Also, backtesting from multiple platforms into the same time is not a good idea because all platforms shares same resources and your tests will become longer...
