I _really_ don't consider having more than 512M on a machine to be "high end hardware". The standard for YEARS now has been for systems to come with at least a gig or more of memory. Memory requirements are based on the intended purpose of the installation. And I'll wager that someone who's looking to use a GUI desktop on their system is not installing onto a machine with only 512M and hasn't been doing so for quite a while; i.e., F15 isn't the first release to need more memory than that for a GUI. Quite frankly, I'd question the sanity of someone who actually was installing a full blown Fedora installation on a system with only 512M. ;) -- Darryl L.
