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.
