You can run on the 1GB of ram to start with however I believe you would need a 2GB swap file to go with it in order to allow it to peak when doing resource intensive stuff such as upgrades etc.

If you have the 1GB Ram + 2GB Swap it should keep you going for a while thats for sure.

There are many posts on the forum about it so worth having a search through
