Wow. As Rosanne Rosannadanna would say, "it's always something!" I hope someone holding write-permission to the wiki.linuxcnc.org page on Hardware Requirements will add this information even though it will become obsolete as soon as the next release of RTAI is built into the EMC2 distribution. Judging by the messages I've seen on this list, a number of new users expect to use their EMC2 computer for other purposes as well and I'll bet they all figure that adding more RAM will make it run better. I certainly wouldn't have thought twice about exceeding 1GB and a few little VIA motherboards are the only MBs I've purchased in years that physically limit me to 1GB. Just my 2 cents worth.
