You are confusing RAM and disk space requirements.

For OpenServer 6.0.0:
 [ http://www.thescogroup.com/products/openserver6/requirements.html ]

        The minimum required RAM is 64 MB;
	the recommended amount is 256 MB;
	the maximum it can handle is 64 GB.

        To install all packages included in the media kit,
        4GB of disk space is required. Small footprint
        installations can run on partitions as small as 1GB.

What's the smallest hard disk you can buy these days? :-)

I've had no problem running simultaneous compilations plus an
all-filePro-databases reindexing under OSR 6.0.0 with 1 GB of RAM.
