FC14 install memory requirements

I have a Asus EE 700 with 512 Mb memory.  FC12 meminfo reports ~490Mb 
usable memory as I suspect Video is stealing some memory.

Anyway, FC14 install reports that there is NOT enough memory for a 
graphical install.  To add insult to injury it did not even install 
gnome.  It comes up in text mode and startx is not a known command.

This seems rather extreme?  I put FC12 back on the system (how I got the 
memory info), and will try a FC13 install tomorrow.  But are now older 
512Mb memory systems locked out of FC14?
