For Windows XP, 256mb is the minimum for word processing, so 512 isnt out of line especially concidering the amount of data that has the be used for the areas.
Now, I do have to say, sometimes with 512mb of RAM, Planeshift runs badly. It was horrid on my Mac mini with 512mb of ram, and 1.42ghz G4, but I'd bet the bottle necks there are the GPU (32mb) and harddrive. Its nice on my AMD64 2800+ with a gig of ram and 128mb Radeon 9200 and Linux, with the only issue being lag from my connection.
