No.  But, as with any OS, if you are going to run in graphic mode you'd be
happier with performance if you had 512Mb of memory.

I have no idea if "you" would be happier with a lower core...but I know I
wouldn't.  The lower FC (Fedora Core) are no longer supported and don't get
security updates.  Also, the earlier ones have the 2.4 kernel as opposed to
the 2.6.
