What Craig actually said was "it won't load," which is ambiguous. 
It could be interpreted to mean "it won't install" or "X won't run
after install" or any number of other things. 

For the record I have a system running a K6-3 400MHz with 64 megs 
of RAM. I did a graphical install of FC1 and upgraded to FC2 with 
the graphical installer. I'd say 192 megs is comfortable to run a 
GUI, but definitely not necessary to install.
