Terra Soft does not have much to say about RAM requirements for Yellow 
Dog Linux. I think most folks might say that 64-128 MB is the minimum 
for personal use of Linux; 256-512 MB of RAM would be great (more is 
always better up to practical limits). If you intend to host some large 
databases, even 512 MB might not be enough.

Keep in mind, however, that increasing your RAM increases your need for 
hard drive space, since a portion of your drive equal to about twice 
your RAM is allocated to "swap" space. Go here for more information 
about hard drive space requirements:

Good luck!

Best wishes,
