I would tend to disagree with what Rick says - 512M of ram is really not that 
tight IMHO and FC should run fine. I was until recently running FC6 on a dell 
laptop with 512M. It was perfectly fine running a desktop plus most normal 
apps. 

I did upgrade to 1G ram and things where a *bit* better of course, but this 
was just because I needed to develop some very ram hungry applications, not 
because FC6 really needed the boost itself.
