Does 5.3 have minimum installation RAM requirements? I had not noticed. Does the same apply for running? 5.2 did not seem to have any issues running in 512M that I recall.
I've installed CentOS 5.3 on a Pentium III (500 mhz) with 384 Meg of RAM. I usually install over the Internet, so I assumed the installation was slow because of the mirror I was using. But I've noticed that CentOS (and Red Hat) are generally on the slower side of Linux installations anyhow. I've never had it come to a near stop, however.
Just realized... my laptop uses 512 Megs of RAM and it installed about as fast as my Desktop with 1 Gig (the laptop is a 1.4 Ghz Pentium M, the desktop is a 2.8 Ghz Pentium 4) so I'm not sure what was happening in your case.
