If you assign 2 GB of memory to your VM it is like building a physical VM with 2 GB of physical memory - but remembering this is a virtual machine running on a physical box that has fixed amount of physical RAM so there might be a time when the virtual machines fighting for memory that is when the Memory Shares come into play - the shares are used to determine how much memory each VM will get when there is contention - check out http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_resource_mgmt.pdf for more information -
