I _really_ don't consider having more than 512M on a machine to be "high
end hardware". The standard for YEARS now has been for systems to come
with at least a gig or more of memory.
Memory requirements are based on the intended purpose of the
installation. And I'll wager that someone who's looking to use a GUI
desktop on their system is not installing onto a machine with only 512M
and hasn't been doing so for quite a while; i.e., F15 isn't the first
release to need more memory than that for a GUI.
Quite frankly, I'd question the sanity of someone who actually was
installing a full blown Fedora installation on a system with only 512M.

because you are only seeing you desktop
the developers seems too
and that is why "yum" is consuming soo much RAM that on a virtual machine
with 512 MB RAM the kernel-OOM-killer is killing yum sometimes, and hey
we are speaking abut a terminal-app
there wents something TERRIBLE wrong in the linux world not only on fedora
side, they all starting to braindead waste ressources - the result is that
modenr hardware is not really fast as ten years ago if you looking
at the perfomrance the user gets out of it
