I have.

6.3.1. Hardware requirements for x86
In order to use specific features of Fedora 7 during or after
installation, you may need to know details of other hardware
components such as video and network cards.

This sentence only addresses installation and post installation
requirements. It does not directly mention requirements for running
the Live CD.

As a frame of reference, Knoppix requires 128 MB minimum for graphical
applications (Openoffice) while openSUSE 10.2 requires a minimum of
512 MB to launch into Live mode (less memory is required for
installation).
