I'd tend to send RAM to 1GiB as low memory installs may need special care:

1.3.1. Minimum System Configuration
The figures below are a recommended minimum for the default installation.
Your requirements may differ, and most applications will benefit from more
than the minimum resources.
1GHz or faster processor
1GB System Memory
10GB unallocated drive space

Low memory installations
Fedora 19 can be installed and used on systems with limited resources for
some applications. Text, vnc, or kickstart installations are advised over
graphical installation for systems with very low memory. Larger package
sets require more memory during installation, so users with less than 768MB
of system memory may have better results preforming a minimal install and
adding to it afterward.
For best results on systems with less than 1GB of memory, use the DVD
installation image.

Fwiw, at least f17 would need some cleanups in the recommended values (I
did not see much about CPU in the release notes).
