Can't change base memory in Virtualbox

I need to increase the allocated base memory in Virtualbox to boost the performance. I change it just fine with the machine turned off, but as soon as I start the machine, it reverts back to the old memory. This happens if I both try to increase or decrease the allocated memory, it always returns back to the original value(2048) as soon as I start the machine. It is as if the memory is overwritten. Can anyone help?

Ahhhaa..

I dont know if this is a general solution, but in my case, because this machine is using Vagrant the solution to my problem turned out to have been in the VagrantFile containing settings for this machine.

In my VagrantFile I found this:

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
     vb.gui = true
     vb.memory = "2048"
   end

Once the memory line was removed, I was able to change the memory from the settings as desired.
