The minimum requirement is 1G. When they say minimum they usually been minimum. The application may not launch with less than 1G of RAM. And if they say 1G I wouldn't run it with less than 2G.

Thanks for the info. I ask, because since FC 3.5 required 512MB, I figured 4 needs it for the AVCHD and if I am not using that yet it would run similarly to FC 3.5.

You can buy a 1GB stick of RAM from Crucial for around £20 ($40 ?). Why wait ?
