There is no reason at all why FC-6 should not run perfectly well 
on your machine, once you get it installed.

I see no evidence at all that your problem has anything to do with
shortage of RAM.

I had much the same problem on one machine with plenty of RAM.
My solution was to install an absolutely minimal distribution -
opting for "Custom install" and choosing no packages.
Then when that worked I used "yum groupinstall" to install what I wanted.

In my view your problem either lies in your CDs,
in your CD reader, or (most likely) in Anaconda,
which is not the best of installers, IMHO.
