if you were only running IIS and CF it might possibly cope, but in general I have found that 2GB is a minimum for windows 2008 as you will also be running MySQL and MSSQL, then I would say you definitely need 2GB minimum. I presume you will be running 64bit, which also uses more RAM. But don't forget the beauty with a VPS is that you can easily scale up the memory.
