It can start to matter with the bigger DEs. I once accidentally left one of the RAM cards in an old laptop I had dislodged, so that it only had 1 GB of RAM available instead of 2 GB. GNOME Shell suffered from some slowdown as a result.

Of course, Trisquel uses GNOME Flashback, which is relatively lightweight and not likely to run into problems with 1 GB of RAM.
