No, realisticly 1GB of ram is the bare mininum for any webserver.

Hu!? When did god introduce a minimum size for the RAM of servers?

I ran vBulletin on a webserver with 512 MB RAM for more than a year without a problem. And there are even smaller servers out there. This absolutely depends on the forums traffic.

There is no per se minumum, but 1Gb is a sensible minimum, especially running a *nix server as it will run better and quicker, as it can hold more in memory. RAM is cheap so get buckets of it.
