The officially documented RAM requirements are, at least:
RHL 9: http://www.gurulabs.com/downloads/RELEASE-NOTES-RHL9.html
| Memory:
| - Minimum for text-mode: 64MB
| - Minimum for graphical: 128MB
| - Recommended for graphical: 192MB
F17: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Release_Notes/sect-
Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_17.html#sect-Release_Notes-Hardware_Overview
| Minimum RAM for text-mode: 768 MiB 
| Minimum RAM for graphical: 768 MiB 
| Recommended RAM for graphical: 1152 MiB
A 12-fold increase since the inception of Fedora.

(For F18, the memory requirements are entirely undocumented in the release 
notes.)
