Could switch to a different console and bounce on top, if you're interested.
512MB seems really small these days, so I'm guessing you're using this as a small appliance box like a NAT router.
No, a basic box for common services like DHCP, DNS, SMTP, Nginx, ... doesn't need much RAM, so 512 MB is really enough.
Is there a reason you prefer CentOS over a distro targeted to your application?
I don't see a reason, why I should have a zoo of distros. A productive basic installation of CentOS 7 needs ~ 100 MB RAM. Why the installation needs more than 5 times that is really interesting question.

As soon as you throw in a web server and/or MySQL, you need more. The RAM is really defined by what the system is going to be doing.
