what precisly do you think "MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS"
Let me explain it to you that means that is what is required to run the bare minimum version of the given program, if it says 1 gig then thats precisly what a minimum install will dedicated for its use.
Windows takes what it needs and keeps it dedicated for operating system functions.
All the software running might use 256 megs of ram but windows will ALWAYS keep the one gig allocated to itself to ensure the os can actually RUN
