I also don't think there's an official stance on the amount of memory required to ""run 
MeeGo"". In general, with 512mb most devices see a lot better performance than with 
128mb, so you can draw your conclusions on whether it's 'good enough' for everyone or just 'good 
enough' for *you*.


It has been previously stated[0] that the MeeGo compliance specs will contain 
exactly that - strictly defined minimum hardware req for particular profiles in 
order to call them compliant ('real', if you wish). Even the OP formulated the 
question like that by saying 'minimum RAM required'. With enough hackery, you 
certainly could get MeeGo (and Linux in general) to run on very modest hardware 
or benefit from extra memory, but the question is what the official number for 
a particular device profile is (it's a different story that we don't have those 
numbers officially yet, just saying that 'how high/low can you hack/endure it' 
was not really how I understood the question).

I fail to see what the motivation of your post is...

Would you like me to program MeeGo so that it tests the memory size and stops the boot process if the memory size doesn't adhere to the compliance spec?

The original question came from a person with a very specific device asking whether MeeGo would run on this. I doubt he's interested in being MeeGo compliance, but perhaps he can clarify?
